If you broke ribs shoveling snow, don't you think it is time to get a snowblower??

I got two large snowblowers - in case there is more snow than usual ...in VA!

One day - I will enjoy the full winter when I will only stare at endless snow and hardly any humans for a while.

I have one wish I like completed soon - to live in the forest w/ a cabin I built and stay the Fall, Winter, and Spring. And emerged refreshed - Very Happy

So sorry to hear. Our Corgi is 14+ and starting to show all of the indications that the end may be near.

nsracing, no I broke the ribs after a long night at a school event virtually with my colleague. We graded for 5 hrs then went to the event on our computers to cheer the kids on (kids need us all especially when they were stuck online). It was a late night I felt great my bad back seemed to disappear with all that laughter. I always feel great with my friends and my students, I could joke with them and forget everything. I surly didn't notice the thick sheet of ice on her stairs as I left with 2 bags of school equipment. I recall laughing as I left her house because I was so happy.

Back at school now, all my wonderful kids are in the classroom (masked) and I could not be happier. Back is great, ribs healed nicely (seemed to take forever sleeping in a lounge chair for 2 months or more). It's hard to tell if the kids are smiling, I hope they are as happy as I am to be together once again. Very Happy

This is received as good news by me. A longtime friend called me after hours Saturday needed stock valve covers w/bales, I’ve got some. So when he gets here he’s carrying this 5 gallon bucket loaded with greasy parts and hardware. Ran it through parts washer and here it is. He wanted me to have this as trade.

Probably not for most people and then only to a guy that builds engines. When it rains it pours. 😀

Not overly enthusiastic about his acting skills, not at all impressed by his singing ability, but I am impressed by his "just goner do it" attitude cause he just doesn't stop!
