  OK. I will out myself.

  I have a history of doing other things than computer programming.
  I have worked as a park ranger and surveyor. I used to be able to
  drop medium - size trees with a machete. (Chainsaws are much
  heavier than machetes and it is matter of priorities if you are
  carrying lots of other gear and don't expect to have to drop a lot
  of trees). I could chop for long periods of time, switch hands and
  my usage of the machete put a lot of the impact at the base of my
  thumbs. 

  So, as a senior, I now have arthritis at the base of my thumbs.

  Don't do as I did.
  cheers
