i procrastinated all summer about fixing a chimney. the mortar has been crumbling away and i noticed some big chunks on the roof. it's nice day, sunny with the odd cloud keeping the temperature down. i figured the cement might crack if i did it in the blazing sun of the last few months. i went onto the roof with a few screwdrivers and a brush. after chipping lots of loose cracked mortar from around the chimney i got the trusty leaf blower to blow all the loose crap off the roof. after cleaning off the roof i decided to give the chimney a blow to get rid of any dust and dirt. holy shit, chunks of mortar came off. i was so pleased with the blower i went around the roof cleaning out the eaves. of course i blew tons of shit onto my neighbors sundeck. so it goes.
2 buckets of cement later and the job was done. for years i considered leaf blowers to be useless pieces of junk but now i love that son of bitch blowing machine.
blow me!

Blow me!
A man with a leaf blower can ah blow and not be defamed!
Hahaha, I recall another post about you blowing shit on your neighbors, good as reason as any to love a blower I guess.
After all, who doesn't love a good blow job?
I love the fact that you blew that shit on your neighbor...a man after my own heart..
isn't that song from Paint Your Wagons?...Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood?...love the song.
charlene - blow me, sounds like a good mantra.
billy - even a mediocre blow job ain't bad.
yellowdog - i haven't forgot the ivy and ruby hasn't forgot all the dirty looks. it's from paint your wagon. lee marvin did wandering star.
I even got one of those backpack hurricane jobs. Does wonders on chickens and cats.
They are also great for making sure your neighbors are awake at 8:00 AM on Saturday morning.
I haven't watched Paint Your Wagon in years. Now I gotta go to my Netflix and order it.
I loved Paint Your Wagon, but my favorite Lee Marvin movie will always be Catbaloo with his drunken horse. :-)
Sounds like a good way to blow your neighbor off! I recall the ivy incident. Give Ruby a pat for me.
It's nearly time for us to blow out the rain gutters in our housing complexes..Nothin' like teetering on the edge of a rooftop with 30 pounds of leaf blower on your back to let you know you're alive.
bob - just like ghostbusters!
mr wit - paint your wagon is on my list too.
ananda - lee marvin and robert mitchum. we need those guys back. ruby enjoyed your pat.
sling - now that i'm older i drink or smoke anything before getting on the roof. i miss the good old days of "hold my drink and watch this"
For my money, the Kingston Trio version is the "proper" version of this song. :-)
Hey, it PAYS to blow (and to do it yourself).
I painted the wooden exteriors of my home this summer, and saved myself SEVERAL grand (and, it will be an upcoming post).
Oh, the excitement !!!
I think you should name your leaf blower Mariah.
Awesome. Leaf blowers rule. I get to break mine out here in a few weeks when the leaves start to fall. I think I might also chase the Tankster around with it just to piss him off.
I'm back, sort of, setting up a new computer with Win 7 on it, interesting how it looks and feels.
But I won't be doing a post of any of my blogs until I return from camping, about the 20th or 21st.
Goddamn Firefox, say's I need a plug in to watch the vid here but it won't let me install it.
I got it installed in IE8 okay but I like to do my blogging with Firefox.
