Us golfers use vanilla extract mixed 1 part vanilla extract to 3 parts water in a small spray bottle. Spray your head, face, arms. Works amazingly well with gnats, etc. Give it a try.

I never pictured Palms where you live, Cowboy. What beautiful country! I am just sure I would like it there too.
Winter must not be much. (??)

FWIW, I have some Hoffman "Pole Climbers" that are super stiff for exactly that reason. And they have 16" double thick uppers too. Old School. Made in Kellogg Idaho.
which remeinds me lots of mountiain bikers here swear by Avon skin so soft moisturiser as an effective mossie rep. Personally i think if you need one, you need to cycle faster
Got the 261 dirty today Cowboy. Just for you. It was ugly.

Those are nice!! Hoffman makes some of the best boots out there IMO. I have some of their thinsulate pack boots that I’ve had for over 15 years, best, longest lasting boots I’ve ever owned. These are the Whites (Hoffman packs on left) boots I usually wear climbing,
their ok but would prefer Hoffman’s. Years ago I had some high tech hikers that Hoffman attached an extra thick rubber sole for installing the screw in corks (spikes) I wore logging, I removed the center spikes and used them climbing, they were great! Light weight and feet never hurt.Oz Lumberjack

Thanks Cowboy, bit far from me unfortunately. Driven through there before though, it's certainly a beautiful spot. Your folks must've been pretty close to the fires that went through that area.
It can feel that way. They are building fair grounds that are SE of them on higher ground that are actually owned by Kent County. We won't be able to here the speakers when they have events there anymore, we're on the other side of the river from the current location, about 3/4 miles from the new location.Your fairgrounds spend nearly as much time below water as above!
Stopped by my daughters and dropped a present off to my granddaughter and talked for a few, by the time we came back thru the river had already come up from when we were in town. The SW side of town is already barricaded off and the bridge on the west side of town is closed, I'll get some pictures of it tomorrow too.

Wow. And it’s darn near drought up here.
Here is a second bench I finished for my wife today. She wanted it to be small and light … it is 4'2" and thin / half round Chestnut Oak I thought I was going to burn!
Actually came out very nice and very solid, that Chestnut Oak is tough wood!

Dang! You're a gramps?
Scrounged up a few things this week.
$5.88 loops of full chisel are hard to pass up even if I’m not a huge fan of .325 chain.

Never tried one. But it was cheaper than Oregon and I don’t use .325 much so I figured I would buy one.
50's not old. Is it?Yep.
I have two older daughters, 25 and 30 and a 5yr old granddaughter.
I'm old.
