But I did everything else but [that] and hold the flashlight myself!!!

Yeah, that's the unused weight storage area I was thinking of. Now if you were to take the twist ties off the whip and...... well never mind.
Due to the fact my computer is jazzed up, I'm in a library. Can't read posts by FS in these places, one is supposed to be quiet.

Now 12B, I was advised to take admission of [that] to my grave. It has to do with the heaviest part of changing a tire. My excuse is that I did the change *after* I worked out!!!

Ah. FS, you are supposed to use the jack to lift the vehicle.

Ya know, she has tried that for 18 years. You'd think she would have learned it's useless by now. But then, it's always a good thing to let her 'think' she's the boss at times.
Got this computer operational again. Turned out it was mostly the wireless gizmo and/or the cable company that fed it.
What's the ETA on your bells?

Not that I'm Mr. PT or anything, but I don't understand why anyone would get excited about free weights with a different shape. Weight is weight, or am I missing something?

Buy some and see. I will never do isolation lifts again.

They are in!!
The person who gets my mail, my new (adult) Shipping Associate, not my old (15 year old) Shipping Associate who is my future Systems Analyst-in-training, called and said,
"What the h*ll is in this box that weighs 100 pounds !?! You're going to need help getting this up your stairs!"
Holy smokes, I hope I can lift them off the ground. Glad they are adjustable

Now I'm starting to get a real appreciation for how well Razor handles himself in situations like this.

OK, I'll start.
A 100 lb. box around here means one might have to use two hands.
At another location, it could mean hire a moving crew.

OK, ok,
Ms. Frontsight,
Can we get a picture of your new workout stuff?
I mean after you've had some coffee and are all bright and bubbly.
