Diary of a Demented Snow Shoveler

I'm thinking this was written by my neighbor considering we have been under a winter storm warning today and I've already shoveled 3 times today..........

I’ve done it 3 times today myself and figure I’ll do it once more before bed.

I shoveled both the front and side doors as there was a brave soul who was coming to buy sewing machines. By the time we had agreed on a price and I found all the foot pedals, it had covered up what I had shoveled.

I hate snow too. Why do I live here? Probably because I have a short memory....perhaps no memory of how deep it was and how cold it was and how much the snow plow threw it back onto the sidewalk.....at least when spring comes and I see a green leaf. The mind is a mysterious thing.

Hope the wife was home when he set it on fire.

One of my coworkers handed me something like this about 15 years ago when we moved here from Tenn.

Thanks for the laugh and attitude adjustment. I just came in from raking the last of the leaves and was feeling sorry for myself at how hot and sweaty I was. This helped me remember former winters in Idaho and Utah, shoveling, slipping, wrapping plants and pipes. I’m counting my blessings. I love leaves. I love leaves, even if they fell from my neighbor’s trees all over my yard. ;o)

What a bunch of weanies! Now that we have Senator Al Frankenstein in Minnesota, nobody has to work anymore or drive anywhere. We’ll just hunker down and eat the insulation and the shingles if we’re desperate. Thanks Al!

Thanks for posting. Got a good chuckle out of that.

I'm hip. As a former Michugina, all I can say is get out of there while there is still time.

I used my electric Toro grass blower. If the pavement has been kept clean and the temps below freezing and the snow is light, I can blow my driveway in 10 minutes.........

I'm already thinking about getting a gas powered grass blower with more horse power which hopefully will take care of the heavier snows..........

In any event, its actually fun with the blower when the snow is light.......

It just has to be Minnesota.

I vaguely remember shoveling snow. Was stationed in upstate New York and it was required on base. Transferred to Guam and sold my last snow shovel at a flea market there 20 years ago. Still wonder what the guy used it for there. Never needed another one.

Still wonder what the guy used it for there

I'm wondering why you took it there in the first place..... :)

I keep telling the younger guys I work with that this winter isnt anything compared to the winters in the 1970s. Leningrad would have been a Florida vaction. There were days when it didnt go above freezing and there were Natural Gas Shortage that kept us home from school because they had no heat. And it snowed a##hole deep to a tall indian. I went to a Catholic school and the nuns said that if they could make it to school, we can. But since the convent was next door. When they closed school because of snow, it was three feet and cold.
Ahhhhh the good old days.

I left Michigan 24 years ago!

Don't miss it at all!

California isn't perfet, but there is no snow!
