I just finished digging my driveway clear of snow. I think that's the longest it's ever taken me.

Invest in a snowblower. It might save you a heart attack one of these days...seriously.

Glad to hear you got all dug out Rick. I just finished snow blowing here a bit ago. Snowblowers are great to have. We ended up with about 10 inches total, but the blowing and drifting was the worst part. Almost everything was shut down around us. I'll be down soon for that steak you are grilling for me!

I had a similar experience to Randy and his "soccer mom in a mini-van" an hour ago. I was crossing Bovaird, a local six laner, driving in the centre lane of the three eastbound lanes,trying to get over to the right in order to turn onto the 410. There were a couple of cars beside me including an old geezer in a Toyota Camry. There was a large gap in front of him so I sped up a little in my Z71 and signalled to get into the turn lane onto the 410 but the old fart kept speeding up to try and block me. So, anyway, my 1 ton has some pretty aggressive tires and I'm also in 4WD on these greasy roads, so I easily got ahead of him and merged into the turn off lane. UH OH! Billy Joe Jim Bob don't like that...he pulls around to my left with the intention of passing me and cutting back in front of me in the turn lane. UH OH! old fart loses control, does about 5 fishies down the centre of Bovaird, narrowly missing the truck in front of us....I had to stop my truck....as much as I would have liked to T-bone this old f*ck(and this is an instance the law should allow me to do so, imo), I slowed right down and let him back in. I'm sure he crapped his depends in the meantime. After giving him a round of applause, I continued on my way to do some errands before realising I had left my wallet/licence/insurance at home....good thing I didn't paste the old geezer into the guardrail, afterall. Adrian he was just prepping for his annual six month retirement to south Florida, sounds like he's just about ready for the migration anytime now.

Finally settled in after a 13-hour day. Most of the world had a snow but not me, never. Then my snowblower decides to take yet another dump so that's gotta go in for maintenance. Good thing I spent the most to get one of the best. Are you listening Toro? My neighbors are cool though and let me borrow theirs. Can't shovel anymore. Well maybe I could if I had a SNOW day. This winter is forever. Gonna put on Tarja Turunen...ease it up a bit. She does that.
