It worked on me, Certainly helps take the pain awayfrom mybroken foot anyway, that and the therapy im smoking doing a grand job.
took my first real walk after breaking my foot today, helping tounload a van full of stuff from my aunt.s house, but i ended upover doing it, but did manage to repot three plants too. Hence the beers n smoke, im chuffed to bits ive managed the whole break with only four doses of oramorph, the hospital ran out of codeine, but i wasnt complaining, nice stuff that oramorph. But the rest of the time ive just put up with the pain and relied on my smoke n beer. There was a time id be camped outside the dr.s wanting another prescription, but this time i chose the healthy option.
its 3.17 in themorning here, just popped outside and got a show of hedgehogs rumaging around for slugs n grubs. Butifull sight. I do love mother nature so much at times like that. Hope everyone had a great day or has agreat day go go

What did you break in your foot?

Never mind, tape it up or elastic bandage it while you're vertical. When you're not vertical get it above your heart and get ice on it, after the first 24 hours alternate with heat 20 min each a couple times.

I sat down to clean the slightly tarnished brightwork on a clarinet. I must have entered the zone. When I surfaced, three and a half hours had gone by. I couldn’t access everything because the keys are rather closely spaced.

I am a bit in awe of the complexity of the mechanism. I am looking at the product of centuries of engineering.

I learned that the keys on my model are cold-forged from an alloy called maillechort, an alloy made of copper, nickel and zinc.

In English it is called German silver. The Germans cal it alpacca. Note the extra C that distinguishes it from the new world camelid.

Now I’m gonna watch vids on disassembly and (more importantly) reassembly of the keys, so I can clean the occluded bits. I’m not sure I dare disassemble it completely. From what I read, each screw and rod is unique. I don’t want to inadvertently swap or invert parts.

As for playing it, so far all I’ve done is make sounds a Canada goose would recognize as depraved suggestions. But it is a very nice bit of hardware.
