Yay for getting stronger. I always loved the feeling of really using my body. These days it is less of a pleasure as arthritis kicks in, but still...
You may find that some things around the farm didn't actually get done in the last year or so. I'm finding that I just cannot push myself the way I used to. Grrrr. Like today, I hit a brick wall at about 6 hours of burning. Just couldn't do any more.
Have fun at your meetup!
