Hot again today, and I moved to a new saw site with no trees for shade.  Thankfully I bring my own.

if you were cutting long stuff like last week with the seat off you would have needed a bigger brim on your sombraro.

Snowed this past weekend about 2 inches on my nice green lawn.  All gone now but nonetheless...

Yes, but it's my chicken.   :D

Thankfully, all of the logs at this third site are 18 & 16 footers.  I can sit under the umbrella.  There's no  shade at this site.  Bad for the off bearers.

I have a County Forestry Ass'n Directors meeting first thing this morning, so it will already be hot by starting time.    :-\

I quit early, but it was because of a breakdown.  Forward solenoid decided that it had forwarded enough in 5300 hours.  New one will be here probably Tuesday.

94 today, but, in the woods this morning, high humidity, up and down hill, this forester is looking at his future in the heat, and not liking it.

I will ask of our senior forester, Ron, how do you handle it?

That's called "superior job planning".   :)   The tracking number says that the UPS man will deliver it Tuesday.  That means that I should be ready to roll Wednesday morning.

My new operator's seat came today, so maybe I'll have time Tuesday to replace it also.  I'll have to drill holes and install my umbrella bracket. ;D   This thread is about HOT and staying COOL.    ;) :) :)

I'd have to have a loooong extension cord to run a fan where I'm set up.  It's kinda "off the grid" !!!    :)

Any way to rig up a fan belted off the saw engine to blow clean air across the seat?

Or a 12v or hyd motor to run a fan when the saw is running?

MM,
with the shade you have i bet you could fix up 1 or2 of those 12 volt fans to blow right down the back of your neck and that would help dramaticaly. since you got the weekend off you probably got time to figure it out. if the umberella comes off for transport you may want to think about a plug in of some type. these HOT days make these efforts well worthwhile.  pc

Well I'm just glad we're back down to 65 F today, as I stashed away another 4.5 cords of firewood today for winter.  ;D

Pre-commercial thinning pays off. :)

Since I operate a portable sawmill business, really hot takes care of itself.  July and August is too hot for farmers to cut, buck, and skid logs.  Without shade, it's too hot to saw also.  If/when I saw then, we start around 5:30 or 6:00 and get-r-done early.  We'll knock off at noon or shortly  thereafter.   ;)
