Rake and Pull sounds straight foreward and quite simple doesn't it? The words make it sound so anyway. When my muscles are involved that changes the equation because the action is hard work, straight foreward all right but not so simple. The sweeping motion I used with the weed eater required different muscles and I didn't realize until after the fact that my body had a great variety of muscles some of which are rarely used. That exra action left me with aches and pains I will have to weather through. I don't know how much time it will take - a full night's sleep helped. A hot shower even moreso. But the body is resilient so I am certain that I will live. Would that were the end. However, I will put on water sprinklers and the grass will grow again. Maybe after many repititions of rake and pull, I will get used to the work and go on to build up these old tired muscles. One can only hope!
