Looks like I've managed to...

...acquire my first homestead-related injury of 2010.

Went to pull the lawn tractor outta the garage this morning and noticed the left rear tire was flatter than a Liberal Party policy manual. Couldn't manage to get it off with a regular socket set... so I had to hunt up my breaker-bar.

Unfortunately, it was on so tight, I had to beat on that with a hammer... and somewhere in the whole wretched process, managed to pop something in my forearm.

I guess it's an age-related thing. Stuff like this never used to happen in my salad days.

Gonna have to start training up Neophyte to do all my heavy lifting... or get back on the weight bench and try to salvage the next decade.
