I take a mixture of ibuprofen and acetaminophen, when I get up, when I go to
bed, and in between. Beeing 200# I go by what used to be the prescription
dosage, 800mg for I, and whatever the same number of caplets, both coated,
works out to for A. Not good for long term, but not a problem for this
short period.
I drink a half gallon of gatorade, a liter of coffee, and 12oz of coke, plus
miscellaneous water, during the day. Urination isn't frequent, but it's not
the color of the old stop signs, either :{))
It was only the contortions under the boat which had me so sore - and,
today, after I did the glassing (chop, resin, and cabosil) of the divots I
took in the centerline of the keel, and a small spot on the rudder, then
sanded it ready for cloth, tomorrow, I went to a family friend's house, with
the pool.
I got a hydro-massage by putting my shoulders up to the vents. Perhaps
tonight I'll use the percussion massager we got several years ago - my tops
of my shoulders (I forget the name of that muscle which goes from the neck
to the arm) are sore, but the rest of me has recovered.
Fortunately, as Bruce pointed out, 66 isn't all THAT old, and, as a former
competitive rower (sliding seat, 1x sculls and 8+s) and water skier, my
shoulders are in decent shape so recover reasonably.
It was just the total irritation of the day which did me in :{))
So, tomorrow, we'll add glass to the leading edge of the keel to replace
what's been sanded off by many different prior owners' sanders, as well as
the "Mad Sander" who took off all the bottom paint, barrier coat, and a fair
amount of fiberglass, and finish up the trailing edge of the keel and the
top of the skeg's sharp corners (with biaxial, but without a mat back like
the 1708 we'll use on the leading edge, and did already on the straight
parts of the skeg and trailing edge of the keel). About 45SF in three
layers of biax, so we bought an additional gallon of resin and the
appropriate sized hardener for our West System epoxy we'll be using...

Skip, off to bed so we can start when the sun comes up. Gonna be a long day,
as we have to do it all in one go on the keel...
