Snow my God

7" Friday night seemed pretty bad at the time. Very heavy snow, took me an hour to shovel and snow blow. That seemed like a lot till Sunday morning when we added another foot or so. And the plow totally put a 5' mountain at the end of my driveway.

90 minutes more shoveling, no chance of the snow blower this time as it was way too heavy for my weenie snow blower. My back was toast but I got enough done to get the cars out.

2 hours later I was off for hockey, barely able to walk. Surprisingly I had a pretty decent game and we beat the 1st place team for the 2nd straight time, 6-3. We're 1 point behind them now I think. Unfortunately I blocked a clearing attempt with my elbow and it's swollen up like a golf ball. Not good.

Snowed again last night. I went to work for about an hour then decided to come home as Sazi was having a rough time and I didn't want to leave her alone and I knew I had to get the rest shoveled again. Another hour of shoveling and now I can't get up. Plus my elbow is throbbing. Bowling in 2 days? I doubt it...

Here are a couple pictures. First is from my office window looking at the condo behind us. Second is of my driveway from the front door. I can see the sunday paper mocking me but I didn't get to it for 4 hours.

Holy Crap! Who needs to join a gym or play sports to stay in shape when you can shovel snow!

If you can call wrenching the shit out of your back staying in shape.

Sounds about right.

I heard 5 people took off fingers when they were trying to unclog their snow blowers!!

HMMM - it's stuck and not moving so I'll put my hand in it to fix it.
