The vibes only started late last week, and I hadn't articulated anything for
a couple of months before that. The vibes were actually slightly worse on
the way up Sunday, seemed to be a little better on the way back. Go figure.
Perhaps loose needles and chunks of cap were binding it earlier and got spat
out while 'froading.
