Yep, the yo-yo weather has screwed so much stuff up for me. I had some other yard work projects I could have banged out but with our freeze, thaw, snow, rain, fuck you @Outbound weather I couldn't ever count on having a long enough window to get them done.

All this talk of shoveling snow bothers me too.

Y'all know they invented snowblowers for a reason, right? They even make electric versions for the Tesla driving hipsters.

 

I'd only buy a snowblower if I lived on the East coast. We don't get enough here to justify it, especially with my small lot size. If I buy an acreage, I'll get a quad with a blade.

 

You're in Edmonton aren't you? Do you get significantly less snow than GP?

I have a 2, maybe 3 car if I'm generous, driveway. I picked up a Honda single stage snow blower. In all but the heaviest, wettest snow I can clear my driveway, my neighbor's driveways and the sidewalk in front of all 3 houses right down to pavement in 30 minutes. Worth every penny to me, plus The Woman can make quick work of our driveway if I'm away on shift.

My friend actually picked up a more powerful Briggs&Stratton powered dual stage machine for a few hundred less than I paid for the Honda. He's got more chooch in that thing and I'm kinda jealous.

Plus, burning dino juice in yard machines is fun and supports the motherland's core industry.

if I get a quad, it'll totally have a blade. Bylaw can piss off if they think I'm not using that to clear driveways and sidewalks.

 

Did Mon-Tue. Skipped Wed so I could leave work early. Thursday did a long walk with the dog. Now I'm on holiday...probably another few dog walks but that's it. Back to it on Monday.

 

End of a Thanksgiving Day sunset....



This morning after clicking 275k on the '08's odometer.... (more depressing PNW weather @RichterScale )

 

You're 'on holiday'... WTH, are you European???

 

Nope. Don't like that. 80 is getting too warm.

 

I can do my sidewalk and driveway in about 15-20 minutes by hand, depending on how much snow there is. The two guys to the north of me have snowblowers and will typically do my sidewalk if we have a really heavy snowfall.

 

We actually got Fall this year, been pretty nice.
Last year we had about a foot of snow on the ground at this time

 

Hey, I wasn't pickin on ya, I thought it was always rainy and damp up there.
Shit, if the weather is actually decent, I might move there.
Mind if I sleep on the couch for a year and a half while I "look for a job"?

 

If your not old enough to eat with a metal fork, you shouldn’t have a metal knife

 

That wasn't my fork.

 

1 Coors Light & Coke Zero.

 

Right on! Nice work!

 

SOOOOO...
Was it good?

 

As long as you don't mind, uh.. playin' w/my pups

 

That's not even his ^^^ food; he just walked up to someone's table... Hey, can I take a pic real quick???

Thank you, that's perfect; do you mind cutting off a piece and forking it??? I need a POV shot

 

That's too bad. It looks really good to me.

 

Those steaks look awesome, except for the one that Jim pressured his BIL to overcook for him by 60 degrees.
