I got Barb to send me the lesson in enough time so that I could post it on May 31 because I was going to be in the woods on a Wilderness and Remote First Aid that started on Friday. Then in the rush to get away I obviously forgot all about posting it.
So instead of a weekend to stitch you had a weekend to wonder where the heck I was.
If it's any consolation, I now know why the blackflies were so bad. They were obviously my punishment for neglecting my duties.
