Curious, I weighed it and found it was about 18 ounces heavier than the original, listed weight; this was the first time I had ever weighed it. I have always worn clothes while using it.Thinking it might be moisture, I put it in a dryer it a week ago for about 45 minutes; the weight was unchanged. Can't quite figure this out.

Will try some more drying maybe, although the 45 minutes had no effect. And it could have been too heavy to begin with; just never weighed it until recently. Thanks for all of the ideas. Will repost if I ever find the answer. K. Nelson
