Unfamiliar Ground

Yesterday I tried something new and fell on my face in the mud.

All I did was step off the feed platform from a different area.  It was a simple enough procedure really, but apparently my body wasn't quite ready for such a big change as stepping off of a different step instead of the one I step off from two or three times a day.

So, my feet felt that surely my mind must be wrong about leaving my foot were it was.  Nope, when the knee is bent like this, in this place, then the foot needs to turn and come off the wood block.  So, my foot got stuck and I fell in the mud.

The moral... never cover new ground as if it were familiar territory.
