Thanks for the comments everyone. Coming home I couldn't help but think of Obi Wan Kenobi: "You've taken your first step into a larger world."
RL, will do. I've picked out a spot in the garage just for that purpose.
Huey,
I've been using these for grip strength:

A couple of exercises mentioned to me by TS:
1. Door frame pullups using only your fingers.
2. Tie a rope to some weights. Lift the weight by the rope and hold it out with your palms facing down. Then lift using only your wrist/forearm.
3. Mumbleypeg is right about backrubs. Not only will they build strength, but they'll also earn you brownie points.
