Help is at hand

Last week my deck and steps were covered in snow on top of ice on top of more snow on top of more ice . . . you get the idea. I tackled it with my trusty chopper and shovel, but I wasn’t making a whole lot of progress. Then I got Tom Morrison over here and in no time at all and at a very reasonable cost he had it all cleared off.

That was then. This is now.  It has been snowing off and on all week.  Tonight we get extra special treats: sleet and freezing rain and—yes! more delightful snow!  Wait, it gets better.  Tomorrow we are promised a nice warm rain.  You might think that would be a big help.  If you think that you do not live in snow country.  (Where do you live?  May we come visit you?  If we can get out the driveway?)

I am calling Tom again. You can call him, too, but only on weekends, because he has a day job as a certified mechanic at Marathon Automotive in Traverse City.  He’s happy to do all kinds of odd jobs in addition to shoveling and de-icing.  I put a new listing for Chore & Maintenance Services over there on the right under “In Business in Torch Lake Township.”  Tom’s on there, along with my plow guy, Dale Reedy. I am too good to you.

If you are here, drive carefully.  If you are somewhere sunny and warm, stop chortling!  Chortling is unseemly, and besides it makes wrinkles.
