I guess the good part is that the main roof is %90 blown free of snow... thank god for small favors...all this after working most of the day Saturday and Sunday clearing my own garage.. porch and roof...I turned 60 Sunday.. and this week feel every bit of it..

FYI as of Friday .. Grainger had 50lb boxes of ice melt... I bought 4 more .. bringing this years total to 12... 50 lb. boxes.. the most I have bought in 20 years of maintaining this building. Look them up on line and you can put in your zip code to check availability...

that invitation from my Son to go live in New Orleans is looking better each day... except for the fact that I hate snakes MORE than snow....

Hope you had a great Birthday.

I hear you on the snakes!!!

I've been sharing my sears snow blower with the neighbor for selfish reasons, as a guy that makes a living buying and flipping cars at auction; he is very good at keep that puppy lubbed, oil changed and last night I came home to test out the impeller retrofit. Being the anal guy he is of course, he doubled up on the rubber, no self tappers, bolts and nylon nuts, slotted attachments so the rubber can be moved as it wears and cut and shaped perfectly. The Utube 15 minute job was a 3 hour one for him and OMG what a difference. Came home to find the usual plow job in front of the 3 car wide frontage on drive and what I normally would throw into the middle of the road, now goes clear over both lanes so I don't have to do the street too. I think it will also mean the end of snow, because that is usually what happens after a retro to address it, but that will work too; I'm so tired.
