I took it slow today.
I paid attention to how I moved.
The only physical challenge was to cobble together a couple of light and install them in Southern Belle's Chicken Tractor. That involved working in a small space with awkward positions but wasn't particularly stressing of my knee.
This is a "used" chicken tractor that she picked up for $50. It has a footprint of 12' by 6' and has no accommodations for birds roosting or for people to enter-and-exit for maintenance. I cut a flap in the the netting to let myself in and stitched it shut after I was done.
The timer is set to turn the two, 800 lumen bulbs on at 4:00am and turn off at 9:00am.
The next upgrade is to add four, 4' long roosting bars at 1', 2', 3' and 3'. Headroom is an issue.
After installing the lights, I drove to Meijer's, a local department store chain, and purchased a compression sleeve for my knee. It feels pretty good right now.
