Snow Plows Suck

You work your ass off getting your driveway cleared and it's perfect... and go to bed only to wake up and find the snow plow has come by and deposited 3 feet of snow at the end of your driveway. To make things even sweeter is the snow we had was that wet stuff that packs really tight and weighs a ton! I swear there were boulders in there that weighed 50 lbs. I spent 45 minutes this morning digging it out. Plus you have to get by the mailbox too or you get a nasty note from the mailman. Oh joy...

Last night was position round at bowling. Didn't really mean much to us though. We were in 7th place bowling the 8th place team. We did manage to win 5-2 to cement ourselves in 7th. :)
I had a rough night carrying anything. Lots of 10 pins and 7 pins and just for fun I left two pocket 7-10 splits. Brilliant... Third game I lost it again, 3 splits, a washout and a missed 10 pin and I ended up with a 162. Funny part is Captain Jim had me by 3 pins going into the last game (429-426) so I got him to bet me on series and we both shot 162 so I lost. And I just needed a spare in the 10th to beat him. My 5 count washout and 3 on the 2nd ball just didn't cut it.

Also found out that we are most likely are losing Korey starting in January due to a change in his work schedule. We've struggled at times to get 5 guys who want to show up, this will make it that much worse. I've got a couple guys to call to replace him, we'll see how that goes.

Oh, I'm going to do a basement finishing project so I created another blog that I'll use to track the progress with pictures, etc. You can get to it through a link in my profile or by clicking here.

I have snow almost over my mail box now - that crap was brutal, at times I would drop the shovel and and pick up chunkc of snow.

My next door neighbor has a 4-wheeler with a plow attachment. That's the way to go.
