Had a rather humorous thing happen last Friday night, after a bit of moderate work outside, while firing up a campfire in the 30 something weather in Western NY's grape juice belt, my October hip started to squeak, LOUDLY, and continued squeaking for 2-3 hours, every time I stepped up, or sat down/up from my comfy chair in front of the fire. This is not the first time this has been reported here, and is often thought to be the result of dehydration, but even after drinking a lot of water, and a couple cold ones (yes, I know those will tend to dehydrate) it surely continued.
For me, the sound is much closer to the sound of running a wet finger around the rim of a crystal glass partially filled with water, versus say a squeaky floorboard. First time it happens one thinks, "Is that me"; thereafter, I confess to some ongoing chuckles as it continued. No pain or discomfort whatsoever, and it did not go away until after I got up in the morning.
Boomer: I think this may be a side effect of trying to use the "fun" hip and "work" hip in close time proximity, but I'm not sure, or perhaps I voided the warranty on one of the buggers by crossing the allowable streams of fun and work. Damn.
