Glad things are better for you Hrothgar. I was bitten by a Copperhead a few years back and I can relate to the idea of carefully taking care of your equipment. Good man! I went on with my herbicide spraying so as not to waste the stuff after apologising to the snake. I live a good hour away from the hospital. - a good way from anything really. One thing that puzzles me, though, how come you wasted the paint still on the brush. No thoughts of climbing back up to finish that little corner off? Finding a little something at ground level that needed a little dash of colour? Just kidding! Happy healing Joy
