For sure. Back in the early '80s when I was in college my summer job was driving a truck. My route on Friday was picking up "mini computers" from Data General in westborough and delivering to New York City. Boss gave clear instructions to only drop where they had a loading dock . They were huge...

Ever consider Seattle?

A beauty! Only problem is I couldn't use the " it's too hot" excuse not to finally fix the garage doors on the old farmhouse.

62/57. Aaah

Here you go. Completion.

It was dry. 1968 or 69 I believe. By the end of the drought the entire pond dried.

There goes the deweyest ever. Oh well...

Likely a springpole. They are a menace. Even when you know what you're doing. It's counterintuitive to cut where there's the most pressure . Elm and white oak spring poles are the worst (another reason not to cut elm). I usually hack them with a hatchet before I go in with the saw.

Good observation. It had enough forward lean that it wasn't necessary. Made damn sure however I had a clean path just in case. Working alone I don't mess around.

Taking advantage of the relatively cool air. Going to have to wade through a lot of crap to saw this up. Greenbrier and shorts don't mix if you value your skin.

You can feel the humidity dropping by the hour. Nice...

At least we know you're not seeding clouds. I've seen your snowfall totals the past couple years.

68/66 doesn't feel like a torch.
