    Yesterday I got on the tractor, went in back and loaded up a scoop of wood. Brought it to the porch. Wife wanted to unload it but I would not let her. Then leveled the driveway (they put in a new phone line). Then washed tractor and car. Seemed good to do something productive for a change. Then it was a real stuggle getting out of bed this morning... :headbang:

    Perhaps it was just what you needed to do Dennis. Get yourself back in the game even if just now and then whenever you feel up to doing it.
    Last week I was getting some of my leaf mulch ready for the garden. Just my luck, there was a yellowjacket nest in the pile and they nailed me pretty good on the wrist and neck. Don't want to do that again.

    Well, I do catch it whenever I try to work. I,m hoping if I can get rid of this brace it will get better.

    Bittersweet Dennis, glad you felt that good to do all that did and you went for it, good for you! I suspect feeling good like that to do all you did is few far and inbetween so I am glad!

    In that case, I'm glad you got a workout
    :thumbs:

    I'd imagine there'll be a few more sore mornings in your future.
    :doh:

    Stay the course & don't overdo it, and I'm sure you'll be fine.
    :yes:

    Glad you're ramping it up a bit. Just don't over do it.

    It’s always good to get out when you’ve been down for awhile. Congrats Dennis. Just go slow.
