Your approach has been very inspirational on all levels.
I hope your trees make it.
At first I thought your equipment (tractor and excavator) was overkill... then I started to see the bigger picture of what you're up to.
It is an amazing project.
I look forward to when the cider is available. Would make a great Christmas gift.
Will you be able to ship or will I have to drag my ass down there?
As for my training, I'll keep at it. This has been a frustrating tweak.
It was a mistake to "just squat" as rehab... I need to do the lifts I can do to help recovery.
FWIW: I've found the "real" source of the problem. My couch.
Yes I spend too much time on it, but beyond that, it began to fail asymmetrically over time, dropping my left side.
I started to recover when I quit sitting in "my spot". I'll be replacing the couch. A tough lesson for me, being cheap and all.
