Man, I would help you shovel, but my groin is going rotten. I think that's what it is. Gangrene. That sounds like a lot of snow. I sort of saw you as a snow-blower, not shovel-flinger. However, I did shovel two little truckloads of sand into the truck, from beside the road, and pile them for Sharon to put under her flagstones. Carefully; oh man am I sore. Sore enough that even "being useful" won't override it. Those are some nice flagstones. Best I've seen. Big. Fine color and strength. I have a great deal of dirt and gravel shoveling experience. I can move mountains. Back when my old man still thought I was a lazy bum, he offered to help do some chores. I said wheelbarrow A needs wheel bearings. At the farmstore, the old guy said, "Man. Wow. I've never seen anyone wear out the bearings in one of these. That's a lot of hard work." I gave him the ten dollars at coffee. You should have seen the look on my old man's face when he admitted that. The guy told him I deserved a New Wheelbarrow. ["We have some on special......."]
