    "Prosecution..do you wish to cross-examine?"

    "No, Your Honor."

    "Very well...witness is excused."

    At almost 84, I rarely use my weight bench anymore; but I still use my curling bar, chest pulls, and treadmill.

    It has 110 pounds of iron plates, two 15# dumbbells and one 30# dumbbell. Has leg lift and preacher attachment.

    I'll sell it to anyone who will pick it up at my home.

    This one looks almost like the other one you sold last summer. What was wrong with the new one ?

    Yvonne, there's nothing wrong with the new one...it even has better features than the old one.

    The problem is ME! I no longer have the desire to work out, and I'm afraid I'll just pull a muscle or suffer a hernia or a torn ligament.

    I'm simply too old for this sort of exercise anymore.

    I have my Trike, my Treadmill, a small Barbell with easy weights for a dozen repetitions, and an elastic Lateral Chest Pull harness.

    I would like to put a pump organ in its place!

    Yvonne, you did me a great service by bringing back an old post where I had listed the many reasons for NOT buying an old Pump Organ.

    I had forgotten that post and how I felt about them, and this assures me that I won't buy a Pump Organ!

    Thanks!

    A buyer came out today and bought my Exercise Bench. While there, he noticed my Bicycle. I told him that was for sale too.

    So he took the Exercise Bench and the Bicycle home with him, well tied down in the bed of his truck.

    But I'm NOT selling my TRIKE!
