Wow, just took a peek at the tv listings and saw that the superbowl PRE-GAME is 5 hours long and the game itself only has 4 hours scheduled!

Not sure what to do. Shoveled here about an hour ago and already there's two more inches. I have to shovel three other buildings. Should I make the rounds and do it, and then have to go back again and do it tomorrow? Or should I just wait until tomorrow and try to shovel all 12+ inches at once?

Yea, with long storms like that it's hard to figure out which is best, your gonna end up having to move it no matter how much you get, that really SUCKS!!!!!

One of the buildings is closer to the lake, meaning it will probably get more like 18 inches. Not sure what to do. All the forecasts say it will snow until "this evening" but what does that mean? Wish they would give an actual estimated time they expect it to stop then I might be able to plan something.

I'd rather hit it 3 times than one big time myself.

That's what I'm thinking too. Only thing is the buildings are spread out miles apart from each other. I'll probably go in about an hour and do at least two of them so I don't have a heart attack trying to do the whole thing tomorrow.

My tip for cold feet in the worst wet cold.

Shoes or boots sloppy loose to were you could walk out of them. Strings way loose, tied just enough to keep from tripping on them. No big thick socks, regular socks one pair and sloppy ass loose. This will warm your feet up after they are already extremely cold in just a couple minutes with a little movement.

Got another one for your car mirrors for the ones without a garage or heated mirrors.

The cheap grocery bags tied over each mirror. This will also thaw and melt icy mirrors after the fact. Bag up the icy mirror and go back inside, come back out to clean mirrors. Keep the bags for when you're at work too.

Walked to the store for last-minute stuffs, on the way back it was snowing lightly. Go fig eh?

Got my lucky beer, some ridiculously plump limes, chipotle beef sticks, a huge Mexican avocado and a Roma tomato for nachos. Got some Chile Roja powder as well, to replace the stuff I used up making the meat filling. ;)

Store is only open from 8am until 3pm for game time today. Lots of stuff is just OOS.
Like, they are out of Cilantro...argh!


I think I'm set though.

Video works. Cute pups! :)

What time does the game start? (no haters)
I figure that is a good time to get my errands done.
I'm hoping most are watching the game. :oops:

Nope not yet, i might call my boss and see what he tells me. He's kinda of an ass though and might tell me to try and go in. We'll see.

Refreshments are served, Thanks Caff:D

Pizza & Wings go in the oven in 10:D:p

I also have half of an Ultimate Meats pizza in the freezer if needed. ;)

I'm not really hungry yet, so just having snacks ATM. (Chipotle beef sticks + Chelada = Awesome)
I figure on doing the nachos at halftime as they are quick to make. :)
