    I try and not even buy that stuff anymore. I've dropped and mostly kept off 20lbs just by not eating snacks or sugary stuff. Still got more to go, but man after that initial 20lbs it is hard.

    That's about where I've been hovering. I'm 5'8" on a good day :laugh: At my heaviest was 196 when I started going to the Dr's. She was strait up and said "let's talk about your BMI" and I was like yea I know.

    I struggle with portions sizes. I love food and love cooking/grilling/smoking. :annoyed:

    So we finish snow removal and are putting shovels away and one is missing. Hmm, I must have accidentally buried it snowblowing the driveway. Start poking around in the snow like I'm on an avalanche search and rescue team...nothing. And I know I used that one.

    Found it...it was exactly where I left it.
    In the dining room.
    Why I was inside the house with a snow shovel remains a mystery.

    What the hell dude.
    That’s fuckin scary.
    Were you shoveling snow in your front room??.
    Carol was asking if you were polishing it to make it ready? Lol

    I was doing the deck with Karen and must have carried it inside when I was grabbing my Goretex shell to blow the driveway and forgot about it. Not that I carry shovels inside on a regular basis

    Just wrapped up initial cleaning with snowower as well. I'd guess we got 10". But super light & fluffy. I have a very soft push broom I use for vehicles when there's this much snow. Leaf blowers cleaned up what was left.

    Now do I roof rake today or tomorrow. Probably today.

    Better than the ice we've been getting. Thursday morning's commute was shitty, luckily I put the Tacoma in the garage the night before. Had ice last night as well. Now a couple more days of back to back snow. I'm over it...

    Ice sucks.

    And I just roof raked and snowblowed a couple rows around my house where it all fell. And had to shovel it again from my front porch and back deck.

    That counts as 1 slice in my book!

    You don't accept the challenge?? I have zero self control when it comes to snacks, the best thing for me to do is NOT have them in the house, although I'm sure that I can get hangry when I want something and it's not in the kitchen to eat. It will force me to nuke a potato instead and douse it with salsa and sour cream.

    An admin type day for me. Meeting with a couple of customers and picking up materials for a few smaller jobs. Have to break down some sheets of plywood. Should be warm enough later for me to do in my driveway with my track saw.

    My neighbor never does her driveway until after dark. Apparently she has no concept of chute control...

    I could fix that issue in one storm.
    She would not be able to find her car..
