I was so proud of myself for getting the car covered well in advance of the snowfall.
I had visions of myself going out and fluffing the car cover and knocking all the snow off easily and then deftly rolling the cover up to be ready to store for the summer.
In reality, even though I covered the car on Saturday, well before any precipitation, it must have had melted snow inside. It was firmly welded to the Subaru. After much fuss and effort, I was completely covered with snow before I was able to peel enough of the cover away from the driver’s door just enough to reach in and start her, and run the defrost and defoggers.
Then, this was not the lovely, powdered sugar picturesque snow of earlier in the winter. No, this snow weighed 900 effing pounds, and I couldn’t find my Snow Joe (the 6′ snow pusher, designed expressly for pushing snow off your car). So I had my little scraper/brush, and it was just a struggle.
Finally, I got it off, stuffed with snow, had to put in the garage so it all could melt in there. I’m hoping for the 70 degree weather this weekend, so I can put it out to dry off before I store it.
At least the world is still clean and white. I got to work just about on time in spite of the morning’s sturm und drang. (Try typing that without autocorrect going berserk).
I redid the SBA disaster loan for the shop on the updated site (there was no $10k box to check last week), and did the stock order and then looked around for paint that I could watch drying.
It’s nice to make money, but I hate to waste my Owner Guy’s, I want the shop to survive this mess. It takes three hours to make the trip worth my while, 4 hours would be preferable, but when all I can do is watch TV and read on line recipes…….
Oh, well.
