Home ownership so far: mostly digging

One thing that you can say about living in a condo unit: there is a lot less digging come winter. Where once we merely huffed about how long it was taking the bulldozer to clear up to our driveway, now we are responsible for clearing our driveway.

The driveway is stupidly wide -- allied tanks had less room as they liberated Paris -- and as a result, the shoveling job is somewhat onerous. And so far we've had 4 major snow-dumps. And, along with a shovel, I am the household snowblower. In that capacity, I have been doing plenty of blowing.

But no matter; it's really the only exercise I get for 5 months and I get to post a smug "I dug this" picture of myself on my blog:

Broke-my-back Mountain
  
Those piles are about 6 feet high. 
Does this give me macho-cred? Probably not.
 
Some gratuitous winter porn: 
just a reminder that winter really is lovely
