Very interesting set up on the jacks there, Rosco. Looks similar to some of the electric over hydraulic lifts I've seen used to lift rubbish bins (you know, the ones that are really 40 ft. containers) up onto a trailer at the dump, except super down sized and man powered. Are those custom jobs, or did you pick them up at a local hardware or outdoor recreation outlet? Thanks a bunch for the pictures, by the way.
On a side note, hope you get well soon. Have some Miso soup, works just like chicken soup, only better. But it's made from soy beans and usually eaten with tofu and shoyu (aka soy sauce). Just a thought. Might be hard to get if you don't know a Japanese place nearby or can't find the instant Miso like we have here.
Or you could go with chicken soup.
