As we said on Saturday, winter storm, well I waited to snowblow until Sunday, no problem. Only thing I did'nt completely clear the driveway & sidewalk, waited until today. First thing I try to do this morning is back my van & cargo trailer out so I can finish up, now the trailer weighs about 5800#s today, so while backing it out the back end of the van slides sideways, now I jockey it around a few times and now the trailer is halfway off the drive & on the side lawn & of course I'm stuck! I get out of my van to do the walk around & see that my boy left his winter beater bike lay on the lawn, you guessed it, under the trailer, smashed to hell & of course wedged tight. Now the the F-bombs are starting to fly! So I go get a snow shovel & start to try shoveling the snow out from all the tires, Damb snow froze as solid as concrete!!, F-en plastic shovels, trudge back to the garden shed & get the snow blower & a steel shovel. First thing, I get the bike out from under the trailer, amazing how far one can throw a large mountain bike when fired up.:mad:
Now I shovel out nice smooth trails in front of all tires invovled in the fun, looks good to go, get back in the van, put it in gear & can't move it an inche! F-en winter, F-en snow, F-en F! So I go to the garage & find some plywood, cherry plywood and slid it in front of the rear tire, Shot out like a rocket going to the F-en moon! I'm starting to run out of Fs by now! Well I shoveled some more & some more, finely I get the van & trailer out & park it on the road, Now of course the wife is watching all of this out the livingroom window,
I don't know if she is laughing or watching to see if I have another Heart Attack!
Now starts the other big job, chopping the F-en frozen snow into chucks & wrestling the F-en snowblower to clear it. Two & half hours later, sweating like a pig I get done. All I can think is Winter really doesnt start until the 21st! Going to be a long long F-en winter!
At least I got my new Jersey today! God I can't wait until spring to get the bikes out again
