    If I had a nickle for every time...

    I'm glad our new house has a "newspaper box" attached to the mailbox. It used to be a pajama scavenger hunt every morning! Is the paper on the porch? The grass? Bushes? Driveway? Nope it's under 6" of snow and now jamed in in the fricking snowblower!!

    I don't subscribe to the newspaper at all, I don't know where this crap came from or why they keep throwing the chit in my driveway

    No, just the long handled shovel thing attached to the top of the hopper

    This one spits most things out. Never did find a basketball that I launched 2 winters. AB499E89-5AE1-46A2-8B23-90595BC0BD74.jpeg

    Surprised that stopped her dead?! Must have been the Sunday edition with all the Christmas ads. As for reaching in.... I’ve got a friend that tried that can only count to 7 1/2 now using his hands

    I found the neighbor's garden hose one year after a 10" snowfall. Not with snow blower but with atv and blade. Caught that bugger and moved it a few feet for sure. Turns out the kid didn't take up the hose after watering the horse. I took it up part way...

    I have lost a few. But is usually when a stick of firewood gets ate. Launched spruce good too. The kids toys looks like confetti.

    I was just teasing you in any case. I am the only guy in the Northeast I think that does not have a cell phone, and I am sure there is someone, somewhere who reads a newspaper. (LOL)

    Did some snowblowing at the cottage yesterday...

    But first, let me tell you that along the highway, we did get a nice new bed of gravel (on the shoulders) this fall. First plowing, the nice new gravel got leveled out quite a bit! And then, the first snowblowing, the nice new gravel got dispersed even more! :doh:
