U R sitting in a hot tub, that’s how.

Says it’s 97% humidity right now..

I’ve seen less during a rain.

 

[JimBear]

More fog this morning, just like yesterday morning. @Sawdust Man you don’t have a monopoly on the split pea soup.

Morning everybody.

You can have all the fog and associated humidity, brother.... I have no use for it.

I'm ready for winter.....fall is still too hot around here, it's disappointing...

 

[nbbt]

Morning folks.
Nice and muggy here as well showing 90%, and only 78 so far. A GFY on expecting triple digits by 1 or 2 this afternoon.

 

[Semotony]

How in the hell can it be 87 degrees and feel like
107..

It's that humid stuff. We can see the humidity hanging in the air here. Like fog but hot an no evaporation off the skin. TG it's only sposed to reach 92, rather than 95 or more, today

 

[Sawdust Man]

Sawing these tiny logs today.....most are only making 4x4's (or less) no fun working with midget size stuff on the mill.
Makes me wanna get angry

 

[Sawdust Man]

Well, that made the stack a little bigger... now it's ac time....

Are you able to sell any of the slab wood in the winters for firewood?

Seems like if a man could come up with an efficient way to cut it to firewood length, it would at least generate "some" revenue.. As opposed to having to dispose of it..

I haven't tried, firewood is so plentiful here it's not worth much of anything unfortunately.

We used to burn exclusively mill scraps back in Oregon, we'd bundle it up with a banding machine into about 30" diameter "logs" and saw it up with a chainsaw with a long bar.... it's actually a very fast way to make boatload of tiny firewood.

Currently we're chipping the bigger slabs in hopes of being able to sell chips for animal bedding or something....all the small stuff goes into the bonfire.

Any buyers for the chips?

 

[Hedgerow]

I’ve been burning most of the mill trash, but you can only burn so much..

That’s why I ask.

Occasionally we sell a bit,but I don't advertise so that may have something to do with it.

Our milk cows are confined to the barn, so we go through quite a bit of chips ourselves.....though we're supposed to use oak or pine so it makes better compost.

Mill scraps are great in a barrel stove or the like in the shop.... way less cutting/pieces that what's required for most house wootstoves.

I burn most of the stuff in the shop, but my wife pics through the pile for all of the “mama wood” and burns it in the house.

It’s in “instant gratification“ thing with females I am assuming.

Morning everybody.

Mornin. How's the house coming along?

 

[Sawdust Man]

Absolute sauna out there today...

Good morning guys!

 

[nbbt]

Good morning folks. @Sawdust Man , you didn't need to send the muggy warm mornings this way, honest ya can keep that weather. It was 95+% humidity and 80 degrees at 6 this morning. The good thing is we are getting a slight cooldown today, with it only getting to about 93, however the humidity is expected to be 80% most of the day.

 

[KS Plainsman]

Morning fellas. Hitting 103 today again. Another couple days and we should be through it.
