As you've probably heard colorado got pretty well blasted with snow. Got up this morning at 315 to go out and start shoveling and to make sure i made it to work on time, get to work at about 445. Had shoveled about 12" of snow, sidewalk, my regular driveway(have a 5th wheel pad on the side) and the sidewalk to my front door. Had the most horrible day of all time and finally got home about 7pm, had about 6" of snow where i had already shoveled so decided to knock it out tonight so i can try and sleep in tomorrow. (actually knowing i will be in no condition to go out and shovel 
) Always amazes me because generally i try and hit as many of the neighbors driveways as i can, not for money just because i try to be that good neighbor, so they somewhat turn they're backs when i have loud trucks or rowdy shindigs and avoid the police getting called, and most of my neighbors are older. Low and behold i get home, everyone elses driveway and sidewalks are shoveled, except mine
Halfway done with the sidewalk this kid, maybe 13-15 yrs old comes up the street with a shovel and goes hey man i can take care of that for you, Hmmm not a bad idea, well how much. Well i'll do the sidewalk and one part of the driveway (as in i have a 2 car driveway plus the 5thwheel pad so 3 "parts" total) For 60 bucks, i'll do the whole thing for 100 ::11
So not trying to be an a$$ i go seriously, 60 bucks and the sidewalks half done. his response was yea man but i'll do the whole thing for $100
"your not getting much business are you"
No i'm really not, how'd you know
Umm well your shovels pretty clean there bud, but no thanks i can finish this up myself.
Seriously 60 bucks for 1/3 of my driveway and the sidewalk and i have half the snow depth of everyone else since i hit it this morning???
I remember when i was younger we were lucky to pull $5 bucks a house, $10 if we were really really really lucky. What the hells wrong with kids

had she come up and wanted like 40 to do it i would have payed up in a heartbeat even though its ridiculous money. But i'm not lazy and can do all that stuff myself. I woke up pretty sore this morning, between the long day and all the shoveling i was still debating taking my shovel around and knocking on the doors of the people around here that arent shoveled to make some quick cash lol.
