Where do we post our answers?
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

My guess was 35 lb 8 oz. It weighs 36 lbs 8 oz.

@Brianp You must have used the boy scale. I used the girl scale. Shows less than it really weighs.

I am the undefeated champion!

Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a piece of chalk, cut it with an axe. Sand it to fit.
