Jack Black , the second shot is the bad one in my experience. Take ibuprofen after the second dose. Taking ibuprofen before that weakens the vaccine efficacy.
I'll be walking to town and back today, probably about 5 miles, as I have a few small missions to take care of before I get my shot
I always try to walk that way, but I’m usually off by a letter.
Good luck with your jab, Jack.
Thanks Barrett, it rained the whole time I was out! I got the Oxford jab, which is a lot better than nothing I guess Busy drinking water like a fish now! 
That lamb suure was thirsty.....
Nobody said anything to me about hydrating.
Hoping to spend a bit of time on my latest walking pole after lunch, but I need a couple of things from the hardware store
WOW .... I feel a bit guilty to this day my friend 
I try to keep hydratious anyway, since my imaginary stroke that turned out to be mild dehydration.
The wild cherry stick I pounded a copper ferule onto last year got so dry this winter that the ferule slid off. That hasn't happened before, but I think this was the only one I never glued. It's glued now. Don't ask me how I got superglue in my hair. PPE next time.

Nice find Jack
About ten years ago I made these 2 poles. I had some double sided carpet installation tape and some leather so I put some tape at the top and covered it with tightly stitched leather and makes for a comfortable "handle".
At the bottom I reinforced it with copper pipe and a chair rubber feet cap.
I remember when I got the birch one. We had gone bicycling with my daughters and I brought a little saw to cut me a sapling from a marshy area where they grow in abundance.
On our way back, my 5 year old daughter that had just learned to ride a bike told me as she rode beside me " You should NOT cut the trees, that is hurting nature "
Ouch! Has your daughter forgiven you yet? 
... it may download a virus on my computer

If i can give you some advise my friend, i also have a set of digital calipers and they are extremely accurate. Just make sure they are set to exactly zero every time you measure something. They are so accurate that the zero setting can be moved to + or - very easily with just the slightest knock. So just check each time you go to measure.I've not had a digital set before, but with my deteriorating eyesight, that might be an advantage

Wet and windy here today, and if it stays like this, I probably won't be going far. It was strange going into the city centre yesterday, with most of the shops closed. Being as it was raining heavily, I can't say it was a particularly pleasant experience I'm grateful to Ted

for his advice, and I made sure I drank plenty of water last night

, I'm glad to hear all went well. Usually the second shot is the one that will have stronger reactions but keeping hydrated helps. Things are getting better here, there is talk about opening places for inside dinning. Let's hope the light at the end of this tunnel is just that and another train coming.

Do you guys have a preferred length for hiking sticks, anthropometrically speaking?
Looks like I still have room to try to better seat that hame.
When the weather is better here, I'll drag mine outside for a pic. This past year or so, I've been using a staff rather than a cane, and enjoying using it. The first couple I purchased, but as I'm tall, the shop-bought ones tend to be shorter than I'd like, which is one of the reasons I've been making them. My longest to date is 61 inches Good morning Guardians. Good to hear some of you are now inoculated
