what "upgrade" was worth it?

[mr. furley 12,300]

after spending a total of about 3 hours clearing heavy, wet snow twice today while watching my neighbor's snow plowing/clearing services come through with a team of guys and knock theirs out in about 20 minutes a piece.... i'm checking for quotes.

what a dumb way to spend a Sunday

Money can’t buy happiness. But Jesus it can make your weekends more pleasant.

Honestly do less and less around my house over time, and feeling a little emasculated about it. At this point I may as well have someone in to play with my kids and service my wife.

it's 28". plenty big.

this was very wet, very heavy snow and when the plows come through the end of my double wide driveway gets buried in basically, ice boulders. snowblower can't chop those up. 

i've also got a back patio to do. and i rake the roof. it takes time.

It is amazing to me in 2019 that we can outsource both our poop picking up AND our poop sending. What a time to be alive.

it's basically a squeegee to scrape snow off the roof. prevents ice dams in the eaves.

I'm a huge craft beer fan but after a half dozen I need something refreshing that will help hydrate me.  Like a white claw or a BL.

When I want hydration I go with water, rather than the diluted versions

I think studies have shown that pretty much the only thing we spend money on that creates any sort of real happiness is paying people to do crap we don't want to do.
