Thread: Sore hands...

  1. #1

    Default Sore hands...

    My hands (and the rest of my body, for that matter) are sore and splintered, my clothes are all dirty and "nutty" smelling, I'm tired, and I have NEVER FELT BETTER. Spent all day splitting culms, sanding nodes and flaming cane, and after a good long talk with my new "boss", it looks like I'm going to be doing this for a very long time (take a look at my updated profile under "occupation"). It's definitely a good time to be me
