Sorry to hear of your injuries Spee...
I hurt all over, hopefully temporarily...
20 miles of backcountry hiking in 2 days...
Bull of the Woods Wilderness...
Got rained on hard on 2nd night...
9:30pm to 4:30am, little sleep...
Kept feeling the floor of the tent for water...
Tent worked great, generally dry...
Although dampness was prevalent...
The hike out of Silver King Lake however...
Rainsoaked headhigh underbrush...
Once we reached the ridge...
I literally poured water out of my boots...
Then today, decided it was high time...
To add rafters to my man shack I'm building...
13 16' 2x6's on a 10' to 8' slant...
Solo of course, as my help (16 yr old) was out of town...
On rafter #10 my right arm started cramping...
On both inside & outside of the forearm...
Unpleasant, but battled through it...
And got it all done...
Ready for sheathing & roofing next weekend...
Maybe.
