Will it involve wearing shorts and drinks? :D

It is a little cool for shorts this year and the only things I drink are coffee and water.:D

Well we survived the night but it was scary. House shook all night, but we didn't lose power. Some did. The Island is basically shut down. Police are advising everyone to stay off the roads. The Confederation Bridge is closed to all traffic. That's only happened a few times. Weather people say winds will be NW 75 km/h with gusts up to 130 km/h. It has stopped snowing but the stuff is still blowing around. Guess I'll stay put. :D

Shoveling! That is Manual Labour and he is a Mexican farmer. You need a snow blower.

I almost bought one a few years ago when we had a ton of snow then :yep:

My wife's uncle has a tractor and does most of it, we just do the entryway and a few other spots :)

My drive way is 380' long 10' wide and it widens out to 25' at the end by the house. There is no way I will even attempt to shovel it. That is why I bought the tractor with a snow blower.

Cold and rainy all morning. The sun just came out, but it's only a hole in the cloud cover. Snow expected tonight.

Ours costs us a gift card, that sort of thing. To have the uncle do
it I mean.

I charge 20 bucks. One drive way I do gets me a pie. Another one (He is disabled) I do for 20 bucks/month. I charge me 20 bucks each time I do it.

ReallyDedPoet 03-27-14 01:34 PM

Very reasonable.
