I put a new belt on the snow blower and got it working again. I finished the neighbors driveway. There wasn't much left that was snow as much was now compacted ice from having been driven over. After doing what I could on the snow blower, I got out a regular dirt shovel and started scraping, chipping, prying the ice off. I cleared most of the hill part of his driveway and then gave up on the rest.
I then spent some time trimming the fallen trees in the backyard so I could walk into the back yard again.

Wed Night we got a 7 inches of a very wet snow. Trees were coming down. the first one in the back yard scared the dickens out of Darcy. All total we had 6 come down in the back yard and two in the side yard. The side yard ones fell across the driveway which meant I had to cut them up before I could get out of the garage. I was lucky the car was in the garage and not in the driveway or I would have a tree on it.
I got only a few minutes before the snow blower broke. Later I found out the belt broke.

I spent the next several hours shoveling the driveway since the snowblow broke. the snow was very heavy. After I did the driveway I trimmend the trees across the driveway then got out the chainsaw and cut it up. by the time I finished it wasn't worth going into work. i was also very, very tired which didn't help for later activities.

Boy was I stiff. I was there in plenty of time to warm up but ended up having to keep score so didn't get much time to warm up. Fortunately the other team didn't have enough players so they forfieted. We still scrimmaged so played the whole time. I did finally loosen up.

We had the late night game. We only had 6 show. The other team was short people so picked up some ringers. I was still stiff but the hours since volleyball helped get ride of a lot of the soreness.
We played well and would have won BUT, one of the ringers on the other team was very good. He single handedly scored most of their goals. We ended up loosing 8-7. I played ok. I had one good shot but hit the post.

It was cold out. I started off ok but then got slow. Lots of trail run and I was still very slow. I was glad it was a short course because of the cold weather.

Actual distance covered was 6 miles.
