Split about 1/2 cord of elm yesterday using 2 axes (one broke the head clean off...shame, it was a neighbor's axe). Worked up several good sweats doing it...bout 2.5-3 hours of chopping.
I'm in my master's program, so I was up until 1:30 last night working on a final due tomorrow.
I realize I'm scratching my my leg repeatedly almost subconciously and that it hurts. Outside part of the leg, upper thigh.
Check it out and find a nice tick biting in for all its worth, not yet engorged. Deer tick (confirmed via pictures).
I used the old fashion way and heated the end of a pair of scissors (couldn't find a pin and at 1am didn't want to wake the wife with my rifling around) and basically killed it/made it withdraw a bit then pulled it out with my fingers (didn't take alot).
Nonetheless, today my thigh feels like it has a nickle sized lump in that area and I'm quite "off" in the head. Ugh. It's not Lyme obviously, but I'm guessing that little tickie left me a present...
