Today, I had to carry 2 boxes of pennies and 2 boxes of nickels stacked on top of each other out to my car from the bank. Granted it isn't super heavy just lifting it. But when you had to park far away in the parking lot, it can start to become heavy.
I almost felt like I was competing in one of those tough man contests you see on ESPN. You know the ones where the guy is hooked to a bus and has to pull it a certain # of feet.
If we ever had an annual meeting, maybe we should have a penny lifting contest :-)

I carried 4 bags out to my van the other day. 2 bags in each hand. The same weight as 8 boxes. I think that is about the most I want to carry. I try to use a cart as much as I can.
I too am looking forward to the 3rd GTG. |

| All the tellers are looking at the crazy guy who is taking way more than he should be carrying. Wondering why not just make two trips. Not knowing that there are like 8 more banks after this one... "I don't have TIME to take two trips! Then I'd never have time to get them home to the Ryedale!" |

| So I started lifting weights and working out at the local gym 3 months back. I can now carry more boxes to the jeep from the bank than before or at least I feel like I am not scurrying like grandpa with dirty depends out the entrance. |
