A stunning, gorgeous winter flight...

That's EXACTLY the way I've been looking at it.

Having already had to shovel three real snow storms -- and it's not even
technically "winter" yet -- I suspect I'll be in GREAT shape by next
spring...

Nothing like shoveling 560 linear feet of balconies -- and each
shovel-full
must be lifted up to railing height before it can be dumped... (Not to
mention trying not to hit guests and cars, below...)

Sound like you need to invest in a snow blower.

Snow shoveling is a major cause of heart attacks. Get your exercise a
different way.

Snow shoveling is a major cause of heart attacks.

Any idea why? What is different about snow shoveling vs other kinds of
excercise?

Probably because the people who die of heart attacks when snow
shovelling are getting the first exercise they have had all year (on top
of a probably already bad diet). I doubt if snow shovelling carries any
more risk for people in reasonable shape (apart from slipping on ice and
breaking bones, I suppose). I'd argue that the snow shovelling in that
case is not the cause of the heart attack - the heart attack is like the
latent image on a film, just waiting for something to develop it.

They missed the big snow removal helper of spraying silicon on the
front AND back of a shovel blade so the snow doesn't stick.

Silicon spray on the augers and chutes also turbocharges snow blowers
and minimizes jamming with wet snow etc.........

Oooooohhhhh, that's a good one. I'll need it tonight, we're getting
about 7 inches of the stunning right now.

I'd say he needs one of the things like the "power broom" type of blower. He'll
never get a full size snow blower up the stairs.

I am still wondering why his 15 old son isn't on the job? ;-))

Cuz the crafty little punk has arranged so that he has high school wrestling
practice both before and after school, plus meets.

Plus school, of course.

The kid is just never around anymore...
