If it was easy, everybody would be doing it. And sometimes I'm quite happy my mill cuts mostly 6" boards
We had a humid day here too, ~90%. But temp was ~45F, with wind chill making 40... And a nice light drizzle. To be fair it's easier to mill in those conditions than the heat, slightly.
But I delivered a load of firewood, then found some inside jobs.

Yes, yes, and...oh yeah: YES!
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Milling lumber- at least the moving and stacking part is a young man’s job no matter what the humidity is

I had about 1k board feet of red oak that was rough cut - really rough. I will be glad when I'm done with it. I got it for $75 so I can't complain too much. The time it takes to S4S the boards. Then cutting around the parts you don't want. I would do it again if i get a great price but my projects normally don't take that much wood - so I will be buying skip planed or S4S. The price for me it's worth it. I don't know how many days I have spent surfacing this stuff.

Always use the right tool for the job.
We need to clean house.

Spent a Sunday afternoon sorting my rough sawn wood.
Found this on the bottom of the stack.

It's a lump of Sheoak (Casuarina) that we cut last year. HEAVY, as I had to "walk" it around.
The random cypress and cedar that I've got drying is a lot easier to handle
