It would take me an HOUR to clear my driveway with a blower. Then you have to maintain the stupid blower. Too much work.

Still kicking.
Takes me an hour and a half and get 2-3 clearings per tank of gas. All the maintaining work is change the oil and filters once every year and check the tires every so often. It's not that hard if you have the tools and read the owners manual.

I gave her until Friday to decide. I didn't want to force her into an answer right at that moment. There have been recent issues that have risen that I have not shared, that have caused all of this to fall apart. I want her to think about her answer, and make sure it is what she really wants.

This represents about 1/3 of our driveway. And it's really wide, so the snowblowers can't throw the snow far enough. Needs plowing. Happily up here in lower bumfark, my guy only charges us $25 per plow. It's a no-brainer. I spend $100-$200 each winter on plowing. And he's always here by 7AM or earlier. It works.

You should just be grateful that RW has wrested the hotly contested Dumbest Mother****er in the 41 title from you.

I would own a blower if I lived on Mount Doom for the independence but the blow guy for $25 is very cheap and hard to beat.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

what is the snow you're all talking about? it's 615 in the morning before sunrise and I'm sitting out on my porch barefoot. it's 70 degrees. I'm seriously considering rigging out the sailboat Sunday in sailing out to Bimini for Christmas.
Christmas dinner in the Bahamas does sound nice.

At 160 they'd hospitalize me immediately. I've tried racing below 165 before, I get slower, I'm too weak. Ideal cycling weight for me is 166-170. I've been this heavy before. I gain weight very easily, have a helluva time losing it.
All the weight is concentrated in my loins.

He was thinking about pressing that issue, but I think that the Sunday date reverted to her original plan, which was for her to inform him, "I care for you so much that I think that we should slow down and take a step back to just dating... so that I can **** other people." To which he was to reply, "we can step back, but if you want to **** other people, I'm out the door right now, woman!" Presumably, his line in the sand was met with the blank stare of the unimpressed, so he granted her another week to **** other people and really decide if she liked ****ing other people. I think that this is where we're at right now.

The Blizzaks held up like champs on the icy drive up I-25 to 225 to DIA. It is just not worth it, in any kind of weather, making that drive to save a few bucks rather than flying directly to COS.
Weekend may be rideable. New bike arrives today, along with an order from the LBS to update the black bike.
