I really want to start work on a huge water oak down the road at a widow lady's property. It came down in a strong wind several months ago. I think the trunk is at least 36 inches diameter. Probably worth over two cords. I haven't done any wood work in a few months other than test my new splitter out on a dead and down pine. (not much challenge to the Huskee 35)
At ten o'clock this morning the temp is 93 and heat index is 104. The high 'real' temp will be around 106 again today.
As much as I want to, I just can't see working in this kind of heat if I don't have to. I guess I could go down there around 0730 or so in the morning and work for a couple of hours. It wouldn't be too hard to buck it all up. I could just leave it there until it cools down in a few months, then I could start hauling it home.
The tree is not going anywhere but if I don't get it this month I won't be able to get to it until after mid October. Hopefully, it will have cooled down a wee bit by then.
