Been testing my limits again, as long as there was this mostly-dry day.
Hauled all the pieces of the shop crane to the barn, along with various other things that were in the garage but belonged in the barn.
Got a little more organizing of stuff done in the barn.
Fired up the walk-behind mower for the second time, and set forth to vanquish the Front Danger Lawn, plus some odd spots where the ZTR either doesn't fit or just doesn't feel safe. I did get most of that accomplished, but didn't feel inspired to take the mower down to the areas nearer the road where it's needed - and, more to the point, I didn't feel inspired to bring it back up (though I suppose with the power assist in action it wouldn't be that much of a pain).
And! I managed to wedge that mower, too! Hit a patch of really tall stuff too hard and clogged the discharge chute, so the next grass cut stayed inside the deck and clogged everything up right proper. Fortunately, this mower is light enough that I could just tip it over on its side and scoop out the offending debris.
Arm status: Left elbow really doesn't appreciate closing doors; the shock when the door stops is just the wrong kind of load. Right wrist rapidly tires of pulling the starter cord on the mower. But, nothing seems to have gotten really worse, and it looks like I won't be attempting any outdoors work tomorrow, on account of the weather.
Overall status: Properly tuckered out. That was a good bit of exercise.
