conquering the treadmill

The other night I was at a friend's house and she needed help moving her huge, bulky treadmill. I have done this before since she needs to move it every time the cable company comes to fix her internet connection. The tread folds up so that the treadmill ends up looking sort of like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey--but, even though it's folded, it's crap to move. Every previous time I had to scoot one side at a time, inch by inch, until the treadmill was back in place....
This time I just slapped a paw on each side of it, LIFTED THE WHOLE THING CLEAR OFF THE GROUND, and set it in it's place. I sort of shocked myself there!
Shovelglove make david strong!!!!

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET TREADMILL!
DON'T MESS WITH HIM AGAIN!
Maybe you could bring your shovelglove next time to "fix" the treadmill - treadmill versus real walking - don't get me started!

No, the treadmill is not my favorite gadget, but my friend seems addicted to it. I just hope it doesn't destroy her knees!
Maybe I could just go around the country smashing exercise equipment I don't like! Let's take Shovelglove to the streets! The fitness revolution will not be televised!

This thread is making me want to go around breaking stuff!
Reinhard, I almost went to the state fair this year on the off chance that they had one of those hammer games on the midway. The more unsavory aspects of the fair kept me away, however.
On the conquering front, last night I conquered a big old cast iron stove. We messed up getting the stove out of the truck and ended up with three people on one side and me having to lift and carry the other by myself. It was no problem!
