Welcome, storm fox.

20 and 35 pounds sledges? Wow. It might be a lifetime
or so before I'm up for one of these, but just out of
curiousity, where do you get them? Some special farm
supply place? I haven't seen anything heavier than 16.

Good luck with the strongman competition. Now that
would be a great ad for shovelglove.
