And now, I have read something I don't understand...
We make half shafts for Corvette where I work. The company is GKN Driveline. The Corvette half shafts(or half drive shafts) range in weight from 20-30 lbs. We started with the 20lb ones but now we're on the 25 lb ones.

Thanks for clearing that up.....I was honestly thinking that must some sort of exercise with weights, but I couldn't rectify the 'half shaft' in me head. ;)

On a totally unrelated note, Devil's Cut makes a dayum nice Irish Coffee. :)

    After the above post I only had to lift 40 more 25lb half shafts. Yep! I'm building some muscles. :)

    DAYUM, Shanequa! Remind me not to pizz you off :D :D :D I think you could whoop my sorry self!

    Well, with the relocation of the vape cave to the basement, I had to redo how I corral my flavahs. It's not perfect, but at least bottles are not running amok - found some cheapo storage containers and the flavorings have much less likelihood of getting knocked over (or heaven forbid, falling to the concrete floor!) Pizzer is that I can't find things "easily" until I learn the "new" system... First World problems, right?

    Sorry @LynnNC , I tried to resist, I just couldn't.:D
    I know. After rereading what I posted, I could see how I set myself up for it. :) I won't get to play with the big ones tonight though. We'll be working on GM tonight. They're only 12lbs.

    I wish I had some place to use mine instead of having to drag the stuff out every time I wanted to mix. If I did, I wouldn't mind mixing.
