We try to cut wood in the winter because we both are allergic to
bees/wasps.  The last time he cut up a fallen hickory in the summer we
ended up in the ER after he found nest of yellow jackets in the ground

Be careful with DEET.  It is a neurotoxin and only one step shy of
chemical weaponry. <vbg>  Use sparingly if you use it at all, and try to
use it on your clothes vs on your skin.  It goes right through your skin.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve
the problems of the human race"

~ Calvin Coolidge
