… and a couple years!! Back then I’d stack myself up against any other snow shoveler … wished it was Olympic event I was that good … very quick and efficient, working at a brisk walking pace, even running at times. Was a time I’d gladly go out 3 times a day during winter storms keeping our driveway cleared, AND do the neighbour’s as well when they were away to boot. Now, hope I never see the stuff, lol. Guessing we got a good 10 cm … was heavy and dense which didn’t help … all I know is my lungs are burning and I’m winded. In my best Danny Glover/Roger Murtaugh Lethal Weapon impersonation … I’m too old for this shit!!

… double-assed hernia no less, thanks for the painful reminder Gee Gee, lol. Swore I’d NEVER give in to a snowblower, now my body swears I will … but not for at least 10 years, and if you ever see me behind this contraption before then … do me a favour and shove me down to the ground … runnin’ me over and spittin’ me out à la wood-chipper style, lol!!

Notice i did not mention it was a double hernia,lol. I can see why you wouldn’t want a macho gas guzzling vrroomm VRROOM loud testosterone snow blasting machine pissing off your neighbours as you plow easily thru the packed snow sending it flying while they cower and whimper pushing their shovels and wishing they had been nicer to you thru the year… definately not your style 😉
