Time to dust off the SS and make some saw dust .

I think Winter has already arrived. It was 17 degrees here yesterday morning.

Nice !!
so far its only been in the high 30's here . just cut the last of the garden off today .
I'm not ready yet ,,, I still need fire more wood .

garys,

That's quite a contrast to the triple digits when I was there in June. Here Summer is still holding on and yesterday it was sunny, in the mid 80's and a record for the date. Unusual for us in October. It has also been very dry still. We are expecting 3 more days this week at 80 plus. With the shorter days the lows are in the 50's or 40's.

Hobbyman2,

I think anytime CAN be a good time for making sawdust. Unfortunately, there are exceptions.

This is true !
wood working warms me up 5 times , loading it on the truck ,unloading it and stacking it ,moving the last years stash and working it ,and the scraps go into the wood stove

weather man is calling for high 20's tomorrow night . it was sleeting today .

Our Summer is finally coming to an end. We have had less than a 1/2" or rain in the last 120 days, a new record. The last time I saw rain was in July but that was in Alaska. This month so far, we have had several new high temperature records set and only a couple days have been near average. Friday the rains are expected to begin and continuing for at least the following week with normal October temperatures. The high temperature is going from 78 for Wednesday, 68 for Thursday to 58 for Friday. Maybe winter is finally coming here. Still plenty to do in the shop. I am currently reassembling Shopsmith Model 10E serial number 1076 and hope to have it done by its 75th anniversary.

Snow here yesterday. 4th earliest
