I Guessed Correctly

I eyeballed the wife's luggage that she has packed for the trip to France. I attempted to lift one end. Oh, oh. I went across the street and borrowed a bathroom scale from Paul.

Weighed myself: 165 lb
Weighed myself while straining to lift the luggage: 240 lb

Net weight of luggage: 75 lb

And Delta's web site says 70 lb max or else they'll charge me excess weight charge. Oh Oh

DC: "Dear, ahem, er, Love, something has got to go."

At least this time I know the response won't be "Yeah, you!" After all, she needs me to lift in into the van to go to the airport and into the rental car and... and... and... for the next three weeks.
