This looks like a great investment. It's hard to get the battery out of a C8 and this is cheap. Anyone else bought one?

Murray would spend $14 on gas to drive to CT. He can sit on his flat ass and watch his Ring Door Cam for the Amazon guy to chuck it on his lawn.and make a day of it...

I use a snug fitting box end wrench on the negative post as my handle. Works fine.

You talking to Murray? Maybe he needs his wife's help lifting things... ;)

I will admit that every time I pick one up it seems heavier than I remember. It's one of the things that fortunately doesn't have to be dealt with that often. Anyone who has trouble doing it themselves or doesn't have someone around to help should just replace it every 4 years. Most shops would only charge an hours labor. Worth it for the peace of mind as well especially with a C8 which can't even be pushed with a dead battery without the hassle of getting the TX into neutral.

Slow and steady weight training is the answer. Older people's muscles deteriorate fast when they're not used as much. Here's an exercise for you and Murray to help that flabby skin fill out with muscle once again.

You buy potatoes? They come in various size sacks.
Start out with two 3 pound sacks and do 25 simultaneous arm lifts with them twice a day for 2 weeks.
Then up it to 5 pound sacks and repeat the lifts for another 2 weeks.
Then up it to 10 pound sacks and repeat.
Then 20 pound sacks.
You will find that after 2 months, 50 pound sacks won't even be a problem.
Once you've reached that point, start over but this time leave the potatoes in the sacks.

Great advice. I'll get on that after I come back in from unloading and cutting up the 80 pound pallets that I loaded into the back of my truck this morning, lol.

Yeah. I have a trailer load of tamarack I cut next week for next years wood stove fuel that I need to start splitting. Tamarack has got to me the heaviest wood I have ever seen. Twice the density and weight of birch.

Should burn really well. We have softwood here but it's surprisingly dense and heavy because of the slow growth I suspect but I would love to have access to some hardwood. To legally cut here you have to go to designated old burn areas the closest of which is about 100 km each way . I'll stick to pallets until they get to be too much work and then begrudgingly pull out my wood stove and go pellets.
