No more shoulder carrying! How do you lift them that high? It would destroy me!

Actually, they are coming down from the garage floor to my shoulder - I am down in the stairwell. I can lift them to the edge of the bin to dump them in, but I could not lift them to shoulder level.

In my “younger” years, I did carry 100+ 50-60 lb. hay bales up 14 steps into the hayloft one Saturday. Three loads in the PU & between loads, I helped the farmer treat his cattle herd (loadng syringes, etc.). His wife was so grateful she gave me a jar of homemade bread & butter pickles - so good - I think I ate half the jar in one sitting! She was working on her hair for a party that night & didn’t have time to help with the cows. Anyway, my legs were a little sore for a day or two after, but at least I had a loft full of hay for the winter.
