Photo-A-Day #02597
Today was another Snow Day and that meant more shoveling and more snowblowing. This is our corner and I made sure to snowblow a path along the whole of our sidewalk minus one part that I just simply could not get through and was getting too tired to complete after doing 4+ hours and 3 refills of the gas tank. I did both neighbors again and after I had made my first pass the city came by and made their pass which meant I had to redo everything. Allison and Eva took care of taking the snow off the cars. It was warmer so the sun took care of more of the snow.
The bad. I scraped the heck out of the side of my car with the snowblower. Looks like I'm going to have to get more scratch stickers. My car has taken a major beating this winter. Seeing the city come by and fill in my whole path was tough but the guy driving the truck apologized and I know that cannot be helped. It simply cannot. I am glad that they did not plow in the corner like they usually do.
I did get to know our neighbor Bob a bit. Bob lives at the end of the street. For years we just called he and his wife, the Wiccans. Nice people, always friendly, the only other people on the street using Black Earth Compost. His snowblower broke and he also has the fire hydrant for the street. I helped him dig it out only to have it plowed in again and then we dug it again. We are lucky, our road is pretty good overall. Some others, not so much.
We did not have rehearsal tonight but I did go over lines with my counterpart, Stephanie on the phone while she is on a work trip. It was very helpful and I am feeling good for Thursday.
