Re: How cold IS it?

Now that is an interesting question. Here's how i was figuring it:

The thing is 800 pounds or so wet.
My experience with "picking things up" is, you have to lift about half the weight, so, if this is true, I'd need to dead lift about 400 pounds.
At my peak, in the gym, (STOP laughing!!) I could only bench 215, (twice!)... but I can lift the whole stack (410 pounds), with my calves, on the shoulder pad machine, like 15 times. (My quads and calves got kind of big when I rode the bicycles, and, although they ain't what they used to be, they don't ever seem to go away completely.)

I'm not sure if I can wedge my ass up against the seat, but if I can somehow get some leg leverage, it's possible that even skinny old me might be able to right the thing. Probably push it right over onto the other side.

Let's hope I never find out.
