Hey Beholden,

That's really great that your fitness test went so well & that you're getting all this at free of low cost. make the most of it.

I've always thought of myself as strong, and I am fairly, until recently I had to haul some major stuff out to the garbage. my 20+ year old microwave died, and it was one of those old massive ones, like they all were 20+ years ago. I had to carry it down 3 flights of stairs and out to the curb. I thought I was going to die. At one point I had to sit down on the stairs to rest.

Then my even bigger / older TV died. It was 18+ years old a big old 27 inch tube TV. I barely managed to carry it three feet to get it out of the way. I knew there was no way, I was carrying that down the stairs, so I called a male friend for help to come help me move it. I figured between the two of us we could carry it. Nope he took one look at it, picked it up and carried it away by himself. And he's not in particularly good shape.

Show me I have to really work on my upper body strength.
