My road is the same. Which is good since the stuck car has been abandoned for hours now, in between two parked cars, so there's no way past it.

If you do plan on getting a tool for that purpose long term, get one with a forged one piece blade vs a two piece welded blade, so that it will increase the chance of lasting more than a few years if regularly used on stuff other than dirt.

I do have that ice chisel cleaver tool. I wish it were a little longer cause when you get it down to about a 45 degrees it just goes through the compact snow so nicely and satisfying. It’s like those ships breaking up ice in the Arctic. You could probably make a game like that pressure-washer simulator.

I think i like the 4x4 better that winters on front wheel.

Today on McLeod Trail near Chic Fil A the sidewalk wasn't cleared. A Sudanese man confidentially walked down the right rut of the right southbound lane without a care in the world, while everyone slammed on the brakes and put their left signals on to change lanes around him. It made my day.

I'm happy to see you understood the assignment. A+.

I work at a chinese owned company so many chinese employes and President. Lunar new year yesterday so there is a big to do and had a little party in the office. They brought in this authentic (apparently) from South Silk Road. I have white guy belly as I've aged (Locke would have died) and it was one of the spiciest things I have ever eaten but good so I ate it so as to not offend, but I knew I was gonna pay and pay the toilet did. I even had the Pantoprozole which is usually bulletproof. Going to bed the lava starts, Oh, now I'm puking.

Now the fireball is moving south and I am worried and need to be close to a crapper. Gong to Hys's for lunch and am worried, will just get crab cakes or something small. 100% predictable.

When my Pantoprozole isn't enough, I'll add on a Gaviscon. Not the cheapest, but way more effective than Tums. Had a moment a 3am a few nights ago, and it cleared it up in 15 minutes. Not gonna help the Flaming Moe Hole though. Just gonna have to scream through that one.

I did move to Gaviscon, but too late.

I don't get it... were your ass troubles caused by the cold weather?

When the winds of ass blow uninvited, sometimes you just gotta let it out somewhere. This thread happened to be the "where."

Nah, that food caused a storm to brew into a fotze fartsy. Seem like a valid post.

Or even just a new shovel (looks like the blade of that one is all worn down?), had a shovel like that and got a new one from Costco with a thin metal strip at the end and it's FAR easier to use, like night and day.

I tried using the electric shovel yesterday but there was so much wind it either ended up in the neighbour's driveway or in my face, so just ended up using a shovel anyway.

I made the mistake of buying a Princess Auto shovel. Shaft too short, so it was hurting my back, the metal edge fell off, just sucks. But a few weeks ago I saw Costco had Garant for $30 with the curved handle and 26" blade. It's been so much better. Don't cheap out! It's this one, looks like not on Costco.ca anymore

Metal strip isn't totally necessary. Just straight edge. Otherwise, it'll snag more easily/snow goes under the shovel.

Serious question, are your air intake/exhaust vents blocked by snow/ice? Not enough airflow can cause that to happen and it's happened to me before. HVAC service call just to have a guy replace the filter, then use a small hand auger outside, crank the heat to warm the house/try and melt the snow from the inside and then everything was hunky dory.

Locke would have left. I've fallen for this trap, you stick to the egg rolls and dumplings and just hammer the booze instead of the food.

Your stomach, your toilet and your intestinal tract will thank you! Your liver? Not so much. But in my experience as long as you're drinking then customs are well served.
