Actually, it's mine. 3.5 hours of shoveling snow that varied in depth from 38 feet to 18 fathoms. Let that be a lesson to me.

What's your friend today?
 
they invented this thing called a snowblower...
We used it. My self-appointed job was to shovel everything it wouldn't get, as well as reduce the height of the snow because, as it turns out, half the auger wasn't feeding the snow due to what is most likely a snapped bolt.

Also, wine is my friend now.
 
My brother, he runs marathons, and runs regularly, so I trade him a steak dinner for taking care of the heavy snow throwing (our thrower is medium sized, 2 cycle).

Literally anything you can slide in those holes will fix the problem. If you don't have spare auger pins, a simple 3/16 bolt will do. I've even used a piece of wire coat hanger.
 
Foam roller does the trick. Roll back and forth from neck to hips 3-4 times and back feels great.
It is so much easier to sit on the couch and not do anything except moan when I reach for the wine glass and these cookies I just discovered--Dulion's Orange Cookie "Straws." About to have my first one and will report back my results.

This is good news since I have many of these.
 
Percocet.

Just sayin'. Literally like the best thing ever.
Oh, these were very nice indeed, but after my dental procedure three years ago the Oxycotin was the nicest thing ever. But now I man up and deal with it. Because I don't have any of that. Anymore.

We hoard them. I must have about 100 on hand right now. Which is good for me, since I'm the only person who takes them recreationally. lol

Probably some kind of deep-seated issues you are running from, and these things are just a crutch to which you flee when the need arises. As a friend, I ask you to re-consider the need for such an approach to dealing with problems and handle things more directly and more honestly.

In a totally unrelated note, let me know which basketball game you'd like to go to with me this year, because I just realized we are way overdue. We'll of course have a drink and things before the game, and just sort of catch up on things.

Is this a convoluted way to ask for some of his stash?

Yeah, it has been a while since we hung out. I'll ping you this week once my schedule firms a bit.

As for the other thing - I said "recreationally", which is a billion miles from "habitually". It's the 70s child in me. Some things you never outgrow. :)

I know your bullshit detector was on, amarite? White Bus's was totally on.

Definitely ping me. I'm all about it.

In fact, now that I think about it, White Bus should join us. I'll be the one with empty pockets, as far as I know.

Just be careful with that - those shear pins are there for a reason. Without shearing, that could seriously damage your snowblower if you get something stuck in it.
