I tried to drink water the whole time, but both arms kept locking up by around 4:30 or 5pm or so. I never experience that before, after pulling up a rope or chainsaw, my arm or arms would curl themselves inward. I had to use the other arm to grab it and stop it, stretch it out. Odd, odd experience, like a puppetmaster had control of my arms. I made the choice to lower down the final logs the next day after talking over my problem with the grondmen. For several months afterward, after a long day, it felt like my arms wanted to cramp up again; almost like they were damaged or had a memory of that day.
I'm glad we stopped that day, I don't think I could have hauled up the 460 and tied the heavy large block for the multiple log drops.

Having worked in Maryland, Virginia and DC I know the kind of heat and humidity your talking about....not good for treework especially large removals.
