Chipping the Afternoon Away

What ?

All froze up, is what !
The front eavestrough and the downspout were filled w/ ice.
Thus, I went out and chipped the ice out and poured more ice melter into the downspout. In two sessions broken by a lunch out, I managed to get the ice out of the gutters and eventually water flow going in the downspout.

" Everybody Hurts " REM
My calves are sore and shoulders too. But it worked. Rain last night and the downspout took the rain. There was ice in the downspout but I got the pieces out about the size of beer cans.
So far, we have a working eavestrough.

Weather. Damp and misty but clearing. Temperature will hover aorund freezing and then drop but mid week, 40 + may be possible.
This week end was turn your clocks ahead and we did.
I woke feeling dragged out and rode hard and put away wet ( love that expression )

Still shaking off the ice chipping soreness
Damp all day but hoping for a touch of spring, there'll be no green ( except the Leprechauns ) : but warm would be treat.
< the rivers will be dangerous b/c they had warnings out this week end due to the , melt possibilities >
