I Take 11,000+ Steps Shoveling Snow, December 2, 2024

 

Clay St apartment house during lake effect snowstorm.

I shoveled snow at our Watertown apartment houses after the lake effect snowstorm dumped about 4 feet of the white stuff in the city. This would bee the big storm right after Thanksgiving Day. I spent three hours at Clay Street cutting through the snowbank and clearing section of te driveway. Then I went to our Franklin St place where I helped my daughter S shovel section of her driveway. I spent better than an hour there. It was satisfying work, great outdoor exercise. I truly enjoy it. My iPhone recorded that I walked 11,979 steps this day.

Jan 19 2024 I Shovel Snow at Clay St Apartment

Back stairs and basement door at our 418 Clay St apartment house, Watertown.

We have had quite a lot of snow here in Northern NY. 18 to 24 inches fell in Watertown. I spent a couple hours this afternoon clearing a big portion of the driveway at our Clay St apartment as well as cleared it from the back stairs. I started at 1:00 and was finished by 3:00. It was pleasant work, outdoor temperature was about 10 degrees. As I write this it is 11:00PM and temperature here in Chaumont is 1 degree.

Chatted with brother Mark in Florida. He gave some wild news. 

Shadow Selfie as I Paint Front Steps Tuesday August 2, 2022

 

Painting the front steps, I take a selfie photo of my shadow. 

 This is a shadow selfie I snapped of myself while painting the front steps of our home in Chaumont, NY. This was on Tuesday, August 2, 2022. 

Besides the steps, I had some other errands to do. I went to the Wine Seller and picked up a couple bottles of Sauviignon Blanc and, and a couple of Cabernet Sauvignon. 750mm bottles. the price came to $22.00 This purchase was in anticipation of my two sisters coming for a weekend visit.

I gave my Celebrity Brother a ride home after he dropped one of his cars off at a repair shop for a brake job. I also went o Hannaford Grocery store and bought 3 dozen eggs, size jumbo, at $4.39 each. Yikes! that is a lot to pay for a dozen eggs.  

Normally on Tuesday mornings I have guitar lessons at the Copley House, however, I am taking the month of August off from that.

Abut 3 hours after painting the steps began to rain. It rained quite a bit the rest of the day, letting up or stopping briefly nw and then. It didn't appear to have an adverse effect of the paint job though.
