Okay, so it's Tuesday ... oh, Happy Holidays, everyone, by the way, on this Blessed Christmas Eve and all that ... anyway, it's Tuesday and the treadmill base was still sitting where I left it last night.  Not much of a shock, actually, in that it's awfully difficult to casually walk off with something that's two feet wide, seven feet long, and

Actually, Starving Artist normally makes me think of big burly men who chisel granite and marble for a living... or pour iron from furnaces.

You need minions, Jim.

It took me years to recalibrate what I think I can lift, to what I can actually lift. Used to be able to lift Very Heavy Things when I was a Foolish Young Strong Person. Then I lifted an Extremely Heavy Thing. Now if I try to lift a Very Heavy Thing, it makes my back sad. Which makes the rest of me sad. And I have to use my cane.

So I just stick to Kinda Heavy Things, or lighter. Fortunately, modern circuit boards don't use neutronium-based components.

Thus, as Diane demonstrated, a man of your wisdom and station needs minions! Baked goods help to lure them in.
