So...
SWMBO and I bought a new house last fall. I'm finally getting around to putting in the back yard. Over the weekend, I transported a couple of yards of compost to the back and rototilled it into our nasty clay soil.

I mean serious clay. This stuff turns into cement when it's wet. Even with a beefy 9 HP rear-tine tiller, it took several hours, and the tiller was bucking all over the place. By the time I was done, I knew my back was going to be complaining.

This morning, I woke up and got out of bed. Ouch! I could tell there was something out-of-joint just by looking at my posture in the bathroom mirror. I figured I's try to give it some time to fix itself before calling the chiroquactor.

I limped into the office, and spent an hour catching up on the AM. I finally decided to get up and make some coffee. I went to stand up and SNAP! Something shifted in my lower back, and everything went red for a second. I fell back into my chair and thought "Crap. How do I get out of here."

Then I went to stand up again. Hmmm... Less pain. I can stand up straight now. Hallelujah, no trip to the back doctor. I think I may start shopping for an inversion table.
