Anyone else having problems with them. They are bad this year, trees full of them raining aphid spit. Grass is shiny from it every morning. My current pile of rounds and the split stacks are right under the trees. rounds sticky to pick up, maul/sledge/x27 handles get so sticky you can't use 'em without washing and then 30 minutes later, wash again. I currently have my cart, sledge/x27/maul parked by a hydrant and even bought a scrub brush to give everything a good cleanup before I tackle the splitting again. Yesterday I had to wahs the X27 once and quit splitting when it needed clean-up again shortly thereafter.
