    15 miles in 30,000 steps and it would take 5 hrs at 3mph. That's hard to do every day!

    Guessing your terminal wasn't 50-100 pallets of seeds and mulch that had to be cardboard wrapped every night. I'd probably walk 5 miles in circles just cardboarding those ####ing seed/sand/salt/mulch/etc pallets.

    Also, I'd jog everywhere usually.

    Linehaul got canceled due to weather. It's 1 am, I'm wide awake, the storm has passed and I'm fighting intrusive thoughts.

    Why shouldn't I fire up the snowblower?

    Any noise ordenance you have to worry about? If not, send it! People don't care about your sleep schedule when you are home during the daytime, this seems only fair.

    I’ve never checked mileage, but I burn about 80 gallons every 5 days in my yard.

    My neighbors are pretty respectful, so I try to reciprocate.

    But it turns out I should have gone out and at least did a rough pass by the garage. We got about 5 inches, but it drifted to knee height. Took over an hour to get it done this morning, it's usually 30 minutes max.

    I can't hear you over the sound of Southern California palm trees rustling to the 76° breeze outside my house.

    We really do need the snow over here though so please blow the stuff into a pallet-sized container and ship with expedience!

    I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain snow doesn't do well at 76 degrees. And at that point I don't think it matters if it is 76 (F)reedom or 76 (C)commie.

    For whatever reason it's unseasonably hot here. Typical highs are in the 50s-60s in December but today's high is actually 86! Almost beach day weather. Coastal San Diego is showing 71, so definitely cooler but still warmer than normal.

    Sounds terrible. I haven't seen the sun in 4 weeks and haven't had a day without rain or temps above 40 in 3 weeks. It's awesome. Just wish it was snowing instead of rain.
