Default Strong Man

The last weekend in March was out TB rally. We live in west Texas and it takes two day to get just about anywhere. While in route to the rally we stoped for the night at a lake side resort in the Texas hill country. The campground owner was very helpfull and nice. After signing us in he went to show us where the site was and found another camper's truck in our slot, he got the keys and moved the truck while DW and I started set up. He returned just after the top shell had been lifted and was talking about the TM and it's design.

DW was doing something in the truck and he and I were standing near the rear of the TM. While he was talking I absent mindedly reached down and lifted the rear shell. The next thing I know he is backing away while saying "Gool Lord, you are the strongest man I've ever seen! And you did that with just one hand too!"

Didn't see much of the man after that, didn't even get to tell him DW could have done the same thing. 8)

LOL! Had a nearly identical experience myself last year except mine was with the guy camping next to me. I swear his eyes nearly bugged out of his head when he saw me lift my TM's rear shell with just two fingers. As I recall there was some mention of my strength as he too slowly backed away. ;D

(admittedly I have pretty strong hands from all my strength training and I have my torsion bars very nicely adjusted)

Apparently I need to adjust my torsion bars since it takes my face getting red twice to to raise mine and the dealer's tech said it was right, hummm.
