Myrtle Beach not looking to beachy right now. 🥶 🌴






Then there's North Carolina with 2' of snow by the ocean.

New Bern is just West of me and we got more snow here.

Today a neighbor with a skid steer was clearing people's driveways. I don't need it as I'm working from home but it was mostly done when I found out he was doing that. If I needed it done, I'd send the 17yr boy out with a mission.

How's your finger doing?

Hopefully it's not broke and you can still use it:question:🖕
So I also have Reynaud's syndrome, so when an episode sets in with my fucked up finger, we get many shades of purple.

This was after shoveling again today. When it's warmed up, it doesn't look so nasty. Or should I say, like it's going to fall off!

A few chunks of ice I had to break loose from the back deck roof.

That's smart getting those off before they create ice damns and the water backs up into your house. I use to sub contract a lot of work for a fire & water restoration company and have seen my share of damage from ice damns. One 2 story house was so bad it ruined all their upstairs ceilings, walls and flooring and even some of the drywall (3' round the rooms) had to be cut out and replaced. The first floor ceilings were all water stained and bubbling paint on a lot of the walls.

As painful as it is it's good to keep moving it so it doesn't freeze up on you. I learned my lesson the hard way when I messed up my shoulder once and started babying it and ended up with a frozen shoulder. The physical therapy was brutal and it took 5 weeks for it to release it.

Well I used it real good this morning when I slipped on the ice and grabbed the deck railing with all my might. Made that finger hurt like hell again for a while.

I agree but unfortunately I was too late. It built up on the one hip roof and creeped up under the shingles and ran into the attic and down into the kitchen wall. I got up on the back roof and got it stopped. Guess I know what I will be “woodworking” in the spring.

He probably just scratched this into his clear coat. lol I know many don't realize this isn't a good idea and will do just about anything for clicks on social media. Just like the ones who write "Wash Me" on the side of their car when it's dirty. 🤦‍♂️

For me, as an OCD person and someone who loves to detail vehicles this is like running your nails down a chalkboard. :eek:

In accordance to what I learned from when I worked in an auto body shop right out high school. That there is now permanently embedded into the paint. 🤦‍♂️
Poor car.

It'll wash, the weather warms up enough, give it an ftb and then it will be good enough.
