Just can't get wound up...

[AIM]

I really have tried to get going with this years wood cutting but just can't get past the heat. I know I'm gonna regret it doing a last minute cutting frenzy.
I have managed to do a little. I got a few of my "target trees" (another thread) drug out. Got a little bit of cutting done behind my house but all in all it's been a pretty meager start.
As much as I'd like to I just can't get into it until sweatshirt weather and the leaves start falling.
Yep... While most of you will be sippin a cold one in a heated abode. I'll be knockin snow off of trees.
I tell myself every year that I'm not gonna do this but yet here I am. WAITING...

happens to everyone bro. "stuff" comes up and tasks you know you should already have completed are shoved to the side to make room. One of the facts of life.

cut extra when you finally start cutting. then you won't be feeling guilty next year and you won't be behind. just takes one year to jump the gap.

I feel your pain bro. I have a large pile out back that has been sitting there for at least a year and a half waiting to be cut and split. I'm hoping to get out there this weekend and play in the mud...Forecast is rain and 68.

Just do it, sweating's good for you! I work outside year round, have to, no choice. cut when it is hot, cut when it is cold, cut when it is goldilocks "just right". I'd rather KNOW I got wood up to the house and in quantities. And I have to cut when all my other work is done, PLUS have the access to it. So..whenever that is, I saddle up and just do it. I can't rely on the future "maybe" get it done, because other stuff can come up. And it gets PLENTY hot and humid here. Like I said in another thread, if them boys in africa and south/central america can cut wood, well, I can hack it here in Georgia.

For what it is worth, because I know this is a fav subject here so many guys comment on it, once I had gone about year not imbibing bavarian breakfast juice, I could handle the heat/cold/extremes a lot better. It did take a year (or so, around there) though, it wasn't immediate.

I've been a winter wooder all my life, but as I get older I have become more like zog - cut a little whenever I can. It spreads out the work and sore muscles that go with it.

That and Id rather trip over the tire chains for the tractor than need to put them on to stay warm.

Drink some Mtn Dew and go get er.

I have 10 or so cords down on the hill behind my folks place from the hurricane last year. Been too damn hot to do anything with it and the poison ivy is rampant there. I'm 2 years ahead and I'll be 5 ahead with those 3 red oaks.

So, there you have it... If you don't cut wood now, you'll have to ask your neighbor for rice; but only if it's snowing.

It will snow this winter.

I believe you.

There is about 15 cords of wood out back. 5 of it is split and ready to be brought up for this winter's supply. The rest is in rounds and large chunks ready to be split for future use.

Have been walking the woodlot a little thinking about staging some dead standing logs. But, as mentioned earlier, need some cooler weather to really get into the mood.

I have a hell of a stack also hoping it gets cold.:msp_biggrin:

 

[JRepairsK70e]

I just despise doing anything firewood related when the mercury climbs above 50"f .... so looking forward to those cool mornings ,have 3 loads of logs to do up ....soon

 

[darkbyrd]

I do plenty in the heat. Firewood is winter work.

My favorite weather for putting up firewood is a day in the 30s with no wind and the sun out. So I put up most of my wood from October to December.

Buy a new chainsaw! The wood will be done in no time. Then this winter get more. That way you wont have to pay for being a tad lazy.
