I decided to re-purpose my old basement darkroom.
Bought two, 50# bags of cement to more or less level the floor. Sort of
bragging to the young woman next door to me that I can still lift 50#
bags at age 71.

Due to a low spot, mentioned that I was going to have to go back to the
store and buy one more bag.

She told me: Just a minute...than ran bag into her house and came out
carrying a 50# bag and said: here ya go, if you need more, just ask.


She did not seem to be straining at all.



I live in Milwaukee. Love it here.


This is my wife when she was about 50 throwing 60# bags in the mixer.
She could do the 80s but she was complaining about it.


My wife would never complain about 80# bags! She'd be nowhere near them.


Ha, sadly at this point in life neither am I. I don't want to think about what
I can't do anymore.
