When I was presented with a challenge which required hard work I might be sore the next day if worked really hard and if I worked hard the next day I would be less sore. I am no longer a young man and I worked hard Wednesday night and tried to work last night and today my body is screaming, "No Mas!":(

Painting is what always gets me. The next day my arms will be SO sore that it hurts to move them. Pretty sure I have some undiagnosed carpel tunnel, anyway, but still.

Painting like most projects usually settles into my knee joints. Up and down a ladder all day will deal me fits. I have been working rakes & shovels after having the stumps ground from the 4 trees we had removed. Trying to dig up the roots is a real challenge.

Ooh, you ain't lying. My dad used to do tree work and I would help him dig up the roots sometimes when he cut down trees in our yard. It's a real PITA.

Aren't our bodies a wonderful thing ? :24:

They aches when you grown up as a child and then for a short while you are in the prime.. You just don't realize how good you have it no matter how much people tell you..

When you get older you do "Damn that's what they meant"..

I now realize what my senior Dad is going through and hope it's more gentle on me, but fear it will be much worse.. :mad

When we were kids we struggled to move 100 lb. bags of feed. Then when we were teens it was easy. That lasted till about 50. Now I struggle some days with 50 lb. bags.

I know how you feel, on Wednesday I did a tough workout for the first time in a while, on Thursday my knee hurt but it was ok, but yesterday I couldn't bend me knee at all and going from sitting to standing and vice versa was absolute agony, today it's almost completely painless.

Been spinning honey all day. Between the lifting and cutting just to get it ready for the extractor I was beat when we got to hand cranking the dang thing. It tastes wonderful but my right arm is ready to fall off and hurts. Pain pill for sleep tonight.

That's a lot of work for something as disgusting as honey. :giggle

Not even kidding...I detest honey.
