Used to have to go and dump on the hill at the landfill. Got out and it felt squishy, then you realize you and your vehicle are on top of like 250 foot of packed garbage.

Those were the good ol days, granted I am sure the number of punctured tires has drastically dropped since they switched to the public customers dumping it into a dumpster model. I enjoy telling/showing the kids Mount Trashmore in CR.

I end up feeling guilty if I don't do it, and therefore do, even for a couple of neighbors who aren't particularly friendly and never express any thanks, are younger than me and could easily afford their own snow blower. But it's OK, I'm guilt free.

Otoh, there're also a couple of neighbors who are, um, well, let's just say that they're the taker, nice-people-are-suckers type. I don't feel at all guilty about leaving them to deal on their own.

I did fire up Chuck and did their drive. Big ass drive so could not blow it all with the wind. The half into the 20mph wind had me eating some snow. The vintage snow chucker ran okay although it did give me a nice backfire when I shut it down.

I am somewhat playing chicken with winter. Gave my inherited nearly 25 year old snow blower to my BIL as they just bought their first house and I want an EGO for multiple reasons.

Waiting on test sample results from someone. Not sure what their email is so not seeing them in the inbox I checked my junk folder. All the junk was the same old same old political stuff, selling stuff and what have you so I’ve eliminated it down to one email that I don’t know. It’s from horny Layla. Wonder if that is what this guys username is? Not sure if i should see if my soil sample results are in there.

Got a text from neighbors. They didn't get home till 2:30 a.m. (delayed flight) and much appreciated the work that Chuck had done on their driveway.

Just looked at my VISA statement, Trying to decide if I should pay it in full as usual or just take a sizeable chunk off the national debt
