We've been digging out of a 16" heavy, wet snowy Nor'easter. No electricity for ~30 hours, no phone service for 24. I'm gettin' too old for this; shoveled out to the cars and cleaned them off all by myself, probably 3-4 hours work. Funny thing, my muscles don't feel it. Doing something right @79! Welcome to Vermont!Tom
What a contrast to mine! I had to work several hours to mow the overgrown grass after an unusual season of storm and flooding in NZ.Gene

Welcome to Vermont!TomYeah, I like working hard like that too. They say it's supposed to kill you (some day) even though it really makes ya feel alive. How'z that for a contradiction? The way I see it, sooner or later something's gunna kill us (". . as in Adam, all die.") So, if I get to choose, it's gunna be from something I enjoy doing.
I've always enjoyed anything that shows progress like painting, building, roofing, cutting grass, clearing trees, even shoveling my 1265 sq foot driveway and patio. When I had the snow blower and was out doing the yard and someone called, Barbara would always say "He's out playing in the snow," cuz she knew how much I enjoyed it. My son Gabe is just like his old man.
