So... I went into the forest yesterday after filling my old but good Husqvarna chain saw with fuel, tightening the chain and giving it a general once-over. I managed to walk without too much pain and started to saw up some trees that had been felled four weeks ago. After about six cuts through a 14" trunk the damned throttle jammed at full power. I couldn't fix it in the forest so I trudged back to the woodshed, slipped on the ice and twisted my already aching ankle again. That's the end of that. I can't even fix the saw because it's still too cold to work in the garage and I can't take the smelly thing into the house.
One thing I'd suspected for a long time turned out to be quite true. Ordinary rubber boots provide no support for the ankles whatsoever.
