Another small step towards blacksmithing in all weather. Smoke box is mounted. First section of flue pipe added temporarily just for kicks. Threw some burning paper into the hood and it started to draw properly. B)

Starting Spring shrub trimming today... with another day forecasting a high in the mid 90s. Shrubs ain't a gonna like that at all. But it's only gonna get hotter. While I don't much like working outdoors all day in this heat and humidity either, I will be dropping some pounds, even drinking 5 - 6 liters of water a day.

THE hottest May on record. Average high of 85 F for the month, 10 degrees above normal. This last week has been mid 90s with matching humdities, perfect early August weather for around these parts... IN MAY!

Long holiday weekend (still worked til 5 on Saturday and going in to mow some commercial clients this Monday morning) so got some work done on the smithy. Lights are on.

I wear a Fitbit Charge HR2 24/7. My post-retirement job in lawn maintenance is hard on that kind equipment, so a wear a terry cloth wrist band over the activity tracker to protect it. (Stylish, I know.) The results of nearly two months of 10 hour days, 6 days a week, in the US Midwest sun.
