I Can See Clearly Now
Yabba dabba doo!! Snowed like a somabitch !!!
God bless America, with all its power tools and neighbors who have to have the newest or biggest snowblowers.
Yes dear people, yours truly did go out there and shovel for a few hours ( Sunday 5:45 AM 'till 7:55 AM) only because the boss came outside and said, " GET IN HERE NOW!!!"
I had the back deck all cleared and two thirds of the driveway when I stopped. But it was still snowing so WHAT THE HELL!!! Time for some coffee!!
It must have been around 10:45 AM when Joey and David came over with their NEW snowblower and old shovel to finish up my works. ( They also came over Saturday afternoon around 4 PM to let me know that they would be over when it stopped!!)
Ok.. the drive is cleared out to the street, BUT I still had to clean my car off.
OK AGAIN... these kids do not drive yet.. so unbeknownst to their knowledge that my car is wider than a volkswagen. ( Approximate size of the opening going out to the street!) I still see some digging coming up for me.
GOD WORKS IN STRANGE WAYS AGAIN!!
As I'm cleaning off my car, the other neighbor on the corner with his super chew 'em up and spit 'em out snowblower asked me if I wanted to use his machine.
WHAT? ME WORK? I asked him to do it. heh-heh-heh! So I wouldn't break his machine!!
OK he widens my driveway, chews out a big dent to get to the Fire Hydrant ( Safety First), then grinds out a path for the mailman to the front door.
WHAT DOES THIS COST??
I bring the neighbor into the house and crack open a bottle of Crown Royal that my father had in the house before he died ( 1955 on the label ) 50 year old Crown Royal. It didn't matter because it sat in the bottle, but it was SSSMMMOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTHHHHH!
In addition to the multi shots of good stuffs, I fixed him up with a container of PORQ'S chicken soup and a dozen of frozen pierogi's. DEBT PAID!!
Now I gotta slip David and Joey twenty bucks each for coming over.
Yes , and I am sore from digging!! Sucks to be ME !!
OINK!!
