Default Where there is a will.....

On Saturday, at around 3, our cable died (about the same time snow stopped). We surmised that the snow had finally buried
the satellite dish on the roof. Luckily we had lots of DVD's to watch Saturday night, however yesterday was Superbowl Sunday.
So Hubby decides that if he hooks up a hose, he can wash the snow away. Guess where the hose is for the winter?
Of course, in the shed in the back of the backyard.

So, hubby takes the snowblower and blows a path to the backyard and onward to the shed, then over to kitchen window near the dish.
The dish (luckily) is located about five feet from gutters. The backyard now looks like a corn maze of snow.

He rigs up the hose, but it is not working so great. So we got a ladder, took a broom and brushed off the snow near the dish.
After about five minutes we now have TV again! Our superbowl party was saved!!!
And doggie now has several paths in the backyard, I no longer have to walk him in the street. Life is Good.

Thanks Jeannie...we cannot get there soon enough
