Weightier than a flute perhaps. Try carting around a drum kit.

After 5 days of temps topping out at 70 and requiring a jacket in the evening, I'm back to 100 degrees.

My traumatic headaches at the time were probably a distraction.

rjones28 and anyone else: If I increase a crankset from 48/32 to 50/34, will a longer chain be required?

And, no super human strength. Just an old fat guy who is not in the best shape, unfortunately.

Chances are somewhat decent that it's long enough already.
Put it in the big/big, then push the bottom of the derailleur cage forward to see if the lower pivot of the rear derailer still had a little room to rotate forward. The more room it has before the stop, the better the chances everything will be just fine with existing chain.
