I spent my beer money :)
 
Well, I figured I was buying a case a day at $22.00. Now, only buying a 6 pack for the wife at $8.00. So saving $14.00 a day.

Thats $98.00 a week savings. So I'm only 5 days in, but found a kickass two-stage snow blower on Craigs List selling in the same town. Took a look at it and it's in mint maintained condition. So I got it for $225.00 (needed one either way because my old Honda died last season after almost 20 years). So for about two weeks of not drinking (counting next week too ;) ) I now own a freakin' kickin' manly snow eating machine!!!

Just wanted to share. It's nice to relate something concrete with not drinking. I've been looking for a blower for a while, but didn't really want to spend the money. Now I felt justified.

If we could just GET SOME SNOW so I could play!!!

We've got quite a bit. Plus, a bunch of it drifted right onto our sidewalk. I'm building snow walls around the yard, lol.

Now Texas don't you dare send that south, don't you dare, lol We are at 62 with lows tonight in the mid 40's and I really would rather not see ANY SNOW, even if it does melt right away, lmao

Now last year about this time, woke up to 3 inches of the white stuff on the ground down here. But, by the time the battery was charged (2 hours) for the camera and I went to take a picture of it, it was all melted, thank you HP.

So Rimmy y'all have fun playing in the snow and just keep it all by you when you get it!

No, I do not like snow. I grew up in snow country. I am too old for snow now. I ABHOR SNOW, COLD AND HUMIDITY. That's why I live where I do, rofl.

Have fun with your new sobriety towy.

Love and hugs,
