#81 Snow in Lansing: Updated

This is what it looked like from the end of our driveway when I went out to get the paper this morning. Last week this time that was all sleety ice, but not quite as deep. This should be somewhere between 3 & 6 inches.

It's nice to have a garage. The Del Sol really likes it.

With a little bit of luck our neighbor will come across the street and clear it off for us. I did help them remove the sleety ice from their driveway yesterday.

Update: Same day, 12:40 PM

George, the neighbor with the snow blower called after I posted the above information. There have been occasions when he calls us by mistake. Apparently his boss's phone number is very close to ours. (Two numbers reversed.) After identifying myself, I asked if he wanted to talk to me or his boss. This time it was me he wanted. He then asked if I wanted a blow job. Needless to say, I laughed long and loud. (You thought I might have said long and hard, didn't you? 'fess up now, it did cross your mind.) I told him that would be acceptable. He said he would upon completing a job for his boss.


So here is George blowing snow. The kid with him lives next door to me and is not related to either of us. The kid thought that it would be more fun dodging snow from the snow blower than snow balls thrown by his brother, sister, their friend and his dear dad.

After the older brother had his fun with the snow blower the younger kids thought it might be fun too. That worked for a while until they decided to get closer to the blower. We had to put a stop to that prior to someone getting hurt.


As you can see George did a great job. I did have to take the manual snow removal device, i.e., snow shovel, to take the snow off of the walk after more was blown up on it.

We are now ready to receive our dinner guests (George and Gale) this evening. I did go over to his house to help him get most of the ice off of his driveway. After all what are friends for? Did I mention that George is also a retired Army officer?
