Split wood for 45 minutes. Drenched. Disgusted. Depressed.
I'd rather be active outside for 50 minutes and start sweating than 5 minutes.
Bring back the sub freezing temps please and sub 0F wind chills!
Smell of Birch not the same in summer. Birch pile on the ground in the back and I started lifting the Oak logs as seen here on the machine for another 20 minutes..
Maybe do this early in the morning? Splitting wood sounds like a good way to wake up.
Pics from coastal NW France:
Leaving port
Dry weather near the coast, but rainy in the interior. That day was nearly sunless in Paris. The building in the middle is the train station, with direct trains to Paris. The journey takes more than 3 hours for 110 miles, about the same as Paris-Marseille (470 miles).
Town surrounded by cliffs
Nearly identical buildings blocks apart
Painter
Building with the construcion date on it. Beats he Massachusetts wooden houses posted earlier.
Ferry terminal to Sussex. Quite a civil engineering work to build the access road.
Lotsa fishermen
Around 10 pm
Further north
Home for sale
People enjoying the 15°C/59°F waters. One can see Britain in the distance.
Eroding cliffs. Collapsed Blockhaus (German bunker from WW2) to the left and another about to collapse to the right:
Fishermens village
Ship goin northeast with Kent in the background
Cape delimiting the Channel and the North Sea. The civilized world ends here. There begins the realm of polar bears.

I like the mature trees. Something rare in residential areas in this part of the world.
I took this on the weekend in front of a friend's home in a cozy part of Tallinn called Nõmme. The weather was quite nice for a day. Now it's back to 12° and rain.
I don't want to sound ignorant but it's just like a typical middle income American neighborhood.

Are you serious!
You could die if you are in those water temps for too long
Btw, a couple I took of Myrtle Beach
Got back from Myrtle Beach yesterday. Daily temperature was 30-32C with dew points between 20-23C. Water temps were around 29C. Now that's swimmable water

If you want to take a dip in the water there, you'll have to be able to cope with chilly water, as it seldom gets up to 20°C. I've bathed in 15°C waters in the Channel. Not that bad, but yeah it's far from ideal. I prefer the water to be above 25°C, ideally around 30°C, with air temps in the mid-30s Celsius (though that parameter would vary depending on wind and humidity).
Maybe they were trying to escape the scorching sun. It was almost 17°C outside when I took the pic.
Personally, I find swimming in an almost 17C air temperature, stranger than swimming in 15C water temperature.
