The Big Dig



Groundhog day came and that half-asleep woodchuck told us we could expect 6 more weeks of winter in Wisconsin. Never one to doubt nature, that furry mammal was right! Not even a week passed and we were hit with 16", yes I measured them; 16" of snow.

Let's just say I found a way to combine my weight and cardio training into one LONG workout yesterday! The dogs played and I labored to clear the way for my young 2 year old client and his mom, who were soon to arrive for their Creative Session.

Snow blower, you suggest? We had one of those huge, steroid-enhanced snow blowers that used to kick some serious butt blowing out the whole street! Eight horses to hold back while it ate 16" like it was a snack! But when our winters went the way of global warming and that serious athlete saw little action, it had to be traded to a new owner.

Yesterday, the muscles in this older athlete missed the powerful blowing action of the 8 HP Simplicity. Can you say "ALEVE?"

    Oh come on... What's a little 16" snowfall for someone as in shape as you? :-) I'll stick with the 24" snow blower!
