  Dear Marla,

  

  During a recent conversation with James, I mentioned my interest in wearing an armbinder but noted the impracticality of it during housekeeping tasks. I need my arms free to cook and clean. Little did I know that James had been tinkering with a solution.

  

  This morning, he presented me with a small box. "This is just a prototype," he said. "Turn around. I'll help you get this delightful toy on."

  

  The first item was a peculiar harness with a double pulley system attached to it. Imagine a typical armbinder with a main sleeve that encases the arms, supported by an over-shoulder harness. This harness was similar, but instead of supporting a sleeve, it had a stationary double pulley mounted in the middle of my back. The pulleys were about 3-4 fingers in diameter

  

  James then secured an arm cuff just above each elbow. One end of a rope was attached to one of the cuffs with a clip, while the other end passed through one of the pulleys and dangled at my feet.

  

  "Now the fun part begins," he said with a grin.

  

  He pulled out a single pulley about a hand-width in size from the box. He fed the rope end through this larger, loose pulley and then through the second pulley mounted on my back. Finally, he tied the resulting rope end off at the cuff on my other arm. The rope ran from one arm, through the harness-mounted stationary pulley #1 in the middle of my back, down to the larger, loose pulley, then back up to stationary pulley #2, and finally to the other arm.

  

  He handed me the box, which contained an empty one-gallon milk jug. He clipped it onto the loose pulley and began filling it with water using the spray hose from the sink.

  

  As the water filled the jug, I felt the gradually increasing weight pulling my elbows toward the middle of my back. "A gallon of water weighs about 7.5 pounds," James explained. "This two-pulley system cuts that in half, so the tension you are feeling at your elbows is about 3.75 pounds."

  

  He held out his hand to me. "Here, shake my hand."

  

  Unlike a traditional laced armbinder, I could move my right elbow enough to extend my hand and shake his. The action of moving my arm forward pulled on the rope at my elbow cuff, lifting the milk jug. I could feel its weight resisting my movement.

  

  When we unclasped our hands, the weight of the milk jug pulled my elbow back to the center of my back. "Try putting your hands together in front," James instructed.

  

  The milk jug rose even higher as I extended both arms, and I could really feel the weight resisting this movement.

  

  "Remember," he continued, "this is just an experimental design, a prototype. We'll need to do something more elegant than the milk jug. I also see that when you move your arm forward, the rope from your arm cuff slides across your upper body under your armpits. This friction could be reduced with some shields on the harness."

  

  He then asked, "Could you do your housework with this contraption on? What would vacuuming or dishwashing be like?"

  

  I mimicked the motion of washing a dish. "Wow! This is awakening new muscles I didn't know I had! There is resistance to anything I do with my arms. To answer your question, yes, I could do housework with this on, but only for a few minutes."

  

  "How do you like it in concept, so far?" he asked.

  

  I giggled. "I like how it mercilessly pulls my elbows toward the center of my back. It persistently occupies the focus of my attention. Nearly any activity I do is dominated by this. It's quite diabolical, James!"

  

  "But..." I continued, "I doubt much housework would get done."

  

  "OK, let's try this," he said, moving me over to the kitchen sink and emptying about half of the water in the milk jug.

  

  "Oh, that's better," I said with some relief. "Maybe I could do 15-20 minutes of housework with that amount of water 'in the tank'."

  

  We continued to experiment with less and less water in the jug. Eventually, we found that about one pound was the minimum weight needed to make the system work effectively.

  

  James then smiled and said, "Oh, I think you and Hevea will have fun playing with this!"

  

  He put a liter or so of water back into the jug and replaced the cap. I could feel the weight tugging my elbows together at my back. It was not a lot, but it
