I have the carhartt Arctic full suit .. A pair a duofolds , and the suit and i sweat in below o weather ..
If it is their logo, it could make you an employee. Ask me how I know that.I gave all the people who worked for me jackets with my logo. That was one of the thing the IRS got me on. Lesson learned.

...well, .........I suppose it wouldn't be right to have a battery go dead while listening to Bing singing White Christmas while operating a snow blower.
If it snows here, I'm just gonna use my pressure washer.
The last few years I have used a broom.

I just shoveled 5 " of snow last night . Getting the new snow blower today .. Not the pimped out one like Dons , Same brand though .. That will keep the snow away..

I'm just lucky the snow never gets too deep and melts on its own rather quickly. But I do have a heated seat cover for the back seat (since my vehicle only has heated seats in the front) and I got a 12v electric throw for people to put over themselves if they get too cold. It's nice on the legs.
My 100' of landscaping wire arrived. Waiting on the battery and box for the gate opener. I'm hoping I can get a friend over to help wit the gate posts, but his girlfriend has been very ill.
Sorry for you guys getting all the snow. I hope it won't be too bad for you this year. I'm really hoping the road won't be icy on our way to and from Albuquerque in January.

Tell them you they are invited to a barbecue Z..
Gonna go fix some carpet doorways that got cat scratch fever. House is getting put up for sale and needs to look pretty. No leftover carpet so the repairs come from inside a bedroom closet. I found a piece of carpet that's only 5 shades off from the existing to replace what I steal from the closet.
....maybe the closet replacement piece will match if I use my serpentine straight edge.

LOL. Barbecue sounds good about now. It's been so cold here-- the moisture makes it feel colder. It rained hard enough to take the internet out last night.
I finally got sick of looking at all of the trash on the kitchen floor that I'd been stepping around and thinking "later" on picking it up. I told myself I just needed to sweep it up. Filled three 33-gallon trash bags. It wasn't just trash, I found some flatware and bowls and tupperware bowls and stuff cats had knocked down. Spice containers and such. Cats had used a lot of it as a litterbox. Sink is currently piled high with stuff that needs to be washed and put away (and not just dishes).
In the middle of it, one of the cats my brother is supposed to be responsible for came in and had an infected wound on his head (he's been slipping out when my brother goes to work and he got beat up). I had my brother hold him while I cleaned the wound and treated it with hydrogen peroxide. My brother wiped it with a paper towel and promptly threw said paper towel on the floor when he was done. Then he went back to his room to watch porn (and I know this bc he left something in the microwave and rather than put it out where the cats could get it, I decided to be nice and bring it to him in his room-- only I got yelled at instead of thanked). I was like "Dude, you shouldn't have left something in the microwave if you were planning to jerk it before eating."
I wanted to wipe down the countertops but needed to clear the floor and even before I finished most of the floor my back decided to crap out on me. I pushed through and finished a corner I almost left for later. I was going to let it be a surprise for my mother, but then realized cats might knock stuff down before she comes out so I took pictures on my phone. I handed it to her and crawled on the foot of the bed and started singing "All by myseeeelf" (to indicate that's how I'd done the cleaning). I still need to get those countertops cleaned, have my brother drag all those trash bags out (there are still some ones from last week he didn't take out and he's just left them on the floor next to the trash can), maybe put a bunch of stuff in that stupid dishwasher that just sprays stuff and leaves a film and only seems good for a drying rack-- and I need to clean the cabinets inside and out. Despite using roach traps & deterrents, mice and roaches still got in. I need to figure out how to seal them up better. But one thing at a time. I still need to clean up the living room and front room. Front room will need to be done so my sister can sleep in there and it is a huge mess, but I'm not doing that one by myself-- my brother is responsible for most of the mess in there. If I have to hide his car keys on Monday and disconnect his internet cord to make him clean, I'll do it. It's his day off, but he hasn't been pulling his substantial weight around here and I'm tired of cleaning up after him.
Highup, those cat-scratch spots are awful, aren't they? Mine have done a number on the doorways when they wanted in or out. I'm also trying to figure out the best way to transition from plush carpet with a nice thick pad to linoleum in the bathroom. I want something that won't rust if it gets wet, won't feel too cold or hard if I step on it barefoot, and won't be as likely to trip me. If there's ever an overflow of water, I want it to stop water from getting to the carpet. Not sure if such a transition piece exists though.

Sheesh. I just hope it didn't spread and damage someone else's property. People like that are why other people lose their homes sometimes.
I tried to get to sleep last night but couldn't. For some reason I'm restless. I want to do more cleaning and I'm alert enough for it, but my back is disagreeing. LOL. I should probably eat something before I work on that.
I'm pretty sure if I don't get the sink cleared before my brother wants to use it that he'll kvetch up a storm and probably knock stuff on the floor to get it out of his way. That's how some of the stuff ended up on the floor in the first place.

You need to have a sit down with him!!
We had a guy burn a entire city block in a historic city ( an hour away)
He said he was watching modern marvels ( I think it was) and had a big fire ( on a windy day) in a barrel trying to bend steel😳
Like the guy on tv

My grades were finally posted ....A in English 102, B in Art Appreciation
Awesome. Knowledge is good...at any age!
Good job, Floorist!
I started cleaning the counters in the kitchen. My brother had spilled some sort of sticky gunk. I don't know if it was syrup or honey or wtf it was but it wouldn't come off and it was stuck to the bottom of a pressure cooker & other stuff. I discovered the only "magic" thing about a "magic eraser" is how it magically shreds to pieces. What a useless piece of junk! I scrubbed and tried different cleaners, but stupid sticky gunk wouldn't come up. Then I remembered hearing that peanutbutter gets gum out of stuff, so I tried it and it worked. Rubbed some peanutbutter in with a plastic scrubber and it came right off (although it still took some elbow grease). I now have one very small section of countertop clean. Still a lot more to go.
My brother decided to go hang out with friends and will conveniently be gone all day-- although he promised to help clean when he gets home. I'm skeptical-- he's not good at keeping promises.
