Here in North Texas in the late winter and spring while the weather is cool I clear pastures, build fences, put in beds plant the vegetable garden and what have you -- all threaded in among earning a living and youth activities such as 4-H and Little League, and a bit of skeet or clays shooting.
Then when things get really hot, I retreat back to the air conditioned workshop, while taking summer breaks to the north woods and various relatives houses. We slip in a little fishing and photography, and ride horses in the relatively cool mornings or evenings (below 85 degrees).

Re: UPDATE: Fine Woodworking Classic Covers: The Game
I made one run through to figure out the game, and scored 5,800 on the second pass. Not stellar. Pretty tricky differences.

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: The New Complete Guide to the Band Saw
I don't have the best bandsaw in the world, but it can give better than I know how to ask it for. I'd be very interested in reading this book.
