Also I am way exceeding the weight limit already (825 pounds compared to 630 pounds normally). Adding one more - like a pump/tubing/radiator/fan is a great idea, but for some reason I think that would multiply all those computer problems that I already have!

Putting the canvas top on due to the rain this morning added a few pounds too.
