Do you have a telescoping snow brush?

I am vertically challenged at 5'1 and the telescoping one really helped me when I got my Crosstrek. That said, it is still awkward and I have to ask for help from time to time b/c I am not crazy enough to use a step stool.
You’re so little lol

I rather doubt you do, but in case you want to brush up on your Penguins history (I would never watch this so I don't know if it includes GM Eddie Johnston tanking to get Lemieux in '84),


Or Eddie Johnston then going to Hartford, trading Ron Francis and Ulf Samuelsson to the Penguins, leaving and getting a job right back in Pittsburgh. Not shady at all.

I have a telescoping squeegee but not brush. Guess I could have used that but I was able to make the brush I had work. Just wasn't super fun. lol

Maybe we need a book thread.

For now, I picked this up.

I’ll give it a go and report back.

I'm 5'7" and still have issues getting to the middle of the roof of my Rav-4 with a telescoping brush, especially when it's heavy and gross like it was today

Ours was very powdery this time, thankfully. Not looking forward to the first iced over snow. That might be later this week :help:

It’s been all quiet on Myrtle Beach. I had a snow day today and prayed on it quite a bit this morning, wondering if I should reach back out.

The recruiter just called to let me know they sent over my info to the school and that the school had some issues they were dealing with the past two weeks and that delayed the process.

They told me not to worry and that I’ll hear back by the end of this week one way or another.

Wherever I’m called to be, that’s where I’ll go and I’ll do the best job I can.

If it's meant to be, it'll be. Trust the process.

This is why I have no respect for the Pens.

Every cup they have is a result of cheating or a lucky bounce of a long pong ball.

I feel the same way. But, let's be honest, much of the enmity is rooted in envy.

Great players, but I *still* dislike Lemieux and Jagr. Why? Because everything appeared to come so easy to them (shades of MTL), and they toyed with the Bruins of that era.

A hapless, lackluster franchise found favor with the hockey gods.

Those gods, as the Bruins have had occasion to affirm (repeatedly) can be cruel.

Also, so many (especially since COVID) have many things delivered to their house. Plenty of opportunity for a thief to steal stuff.

I think some follow the Amazon trucks.

I would say that's probably one of the methodologies. With very rare exceptions we don't have that sort of theft here, but I suspect it is only a matter of time before it becomes more common.

They just had a Dr. Seuss en Español on Celebrity Jeopardy. My Spanish teachers would be proud I retained a few words lol.
I was decent with Spanish years ago. Last time i was in Mexico, probably 15years ago, I attempted a bunch of Spanish. Asked for directions, ordered meals, haggled cab fare, and begged for a bottled water at the airport so I could throw back Xanax lol

i have retained very little. I know some words. Hardly any phrases. Nothing useful anyway
