Let it snow...

Needless to say, it's been snowing like mad. I really don't want to spend most of this post complaining about the snow... so instead I will complain about SHOVELS!!! Now... I was up on my roof (no not like the Elton John song), shoveling snow off to avoid a possible cave in. Because, let's face it, it's possible.... Close to being done my shovel got jammed into the ice bank and... SNAPPED. I finished the rest off with my feet, and that same night spent over an hour looking for another shovel at ANY store. I checked a 7Eleven for God's sake. I finally found one in the back of Stop & Shop... and now I know why it only cost me $10...

We're hit yet again with another huge storm just last night... and let's just say the maiden voyage of El Shovel Pequeno (that's what I named it, I'm sure you can translate) ended in tragedy. I wasn't NEARLY done shoveling the end of the drive way, where you know, the mountains of hard packed snow are left by plows, when I heard that oh so familiar SNAP... "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I cried out as I threw the decimated handle not unlike a javelin into my yard somewhere... never to been seen again until Spring.

Invest in a good shovel...

The up side is I got an awesome deltoids workout shoveling the rest of my driveway using the actual shovel part with no handle.

Canada... I understand your pain now... Alaska... you have worse problems than snow. There some disease spreading out there called Palin, like a really bad STD. You should look into that.

BUT, this is not a political blog. It's about losing weight, which I have been doing! This past Saturday I weighed in at 191.2 lbs. Then proceeded to celebrate the entire day with my beautiful wife in Newport, RI! So... I'm still bouncing back from whatever beer I drank down there. Speaking of beer, if you are ever down that way, I suggest stopping at the Coddington Brewery where Nicole and I had one of of our top favorite nachos EVAR, and an amazing beer called Doppelbock. We loved it so much we spent the $16 to get a growler of it.

Well, that's been on my mind forum. Drive safe out there and stay warm!
