Aloe Vera gel, Brett...works wonders on burnt skin! Ouch and how frustrating the day must've been, in some ways. I love the way you write about it...it really comes to life and I am THERE, watching through your eyes.

I cannot find the right website for the sub-protective sleeves I wear with all of my short sleeved shirts, but you can get the general of good protective clothing and accessories from a couple of sites: click here, and also here. I'll take a look at my sleeves and gloves and see if I can find their website. They came from Australia, so you ought to be able to get them easily. I burn through hats, too, unless they are SPF treated fabric!

Thanks, again!
