3058 Lbs.

So. Thursday;

. I picked up a pallet of 24 boxes of brochures from Color Graphics in San Francisco and delivered it to The Center for Civic Partnerships in Sacramento. It was loaded by forklift but I had to unload by hand. 550 pounds.

. Fetched an envelope from John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, department of radiology, and delivered it to UCSF Hospital radiology department.
While in Walnut Creek I got an envelope from Pacific Standard Press for Blue Shield in San Francisco.

. Then I went to World Courier in Burlingame and hand loaded 22 boxes of the liquid used by the person on at home dialysis in Sonoma, where I unloaded and stacked it in their garage. 539 lbs in. 538 lbs. out.

. On the way from Burlingame I dropped off the tax papers at the SFO airport Post Office, then continued to Greenleaf Produce and got a case of Red Peppers for Boca Restaurant in Novato. 25X2= 50 lbs.

Wednesday, I had to hand unload 1380 pounds of Annual Reports at the loading dock of Levi Strauss. Picked it up from the bed which is waist high and lifted it above my head onto the cart on the dock.

So, in two days I lifted 3058 pounds.

I should look like Dwayne Johnson. I don't.

I'm just pooped.

Good workout.

Several years ago, I moved 10 tons of rock up a steep, muddy trail that we were improving in Hawai'i. The wheelbarrow I used had an engine on the wheel, but it was still pretty hard to control. It took about 5 days, doing about 200lbs at a time. Afterward, it was the first time I ever looked muscular.

I believe that day would have worn out anyone.

.

So what happened to that missing pound? Did you lose a pint of dialysis fluid along the way?
