It didn't work too bad considering. Yeah, the straps prevented it from scraping all the snow off the concrete but it got like 96% of it. It's a wet, heavy snow so it got too heavy to push. I had to clear a small section at a time. But then disaster struck literally a minute after I took the picture:

The end snapped off because it's hollow and made out of cast metal. This broom was $40 at Lowe's 🤬

WTF is "white gravy"? Sounds pornographic.

Hi Mr. C, this is Memorial Gardens, we just thought we'd make a call to update your account (we have burial plots).

OK

I see your wife is not listed on your account, would you like to add her?

OK

We charge $300 for that.

No you don't.

WTF? Do people just pay that?

Down here it's a gravy made with spicy breakfast sausage. Usually served over biscuits. Also very good on eggs or hashbrowns. It is very tasty. Also very bad for you.

I hate you Toyman. Now I'm going to be dreaming of spicy deer sausage gravy over biscuits for weeks until I can beg my brother for more deer sausage.

Physically, yes.  But it's certainly helps the mental side.  

I think I know what I'm making for Saturday breakfast now. 

I can't even look at that

Damn it now I'm going to be thinking about them as bukake biscuits for the rest of the weekend. I wish I hadn't opened this thread today to rant about moving something wrong and berkeleying up my back. Because instead it berkeleyed up biscuits and gravy for me

I do love me some biscuits and gravy.

But what you're seeing on the biscuit there is sausage gravy.  White gravy is just a roux to which you add some milk.  Sausage gravy adds - big surprise - sausage to the white gravy.  My wife insists on using bacon grease as the fat for the roux when she makes sausage gravy.  The resulting dish is absolutely delicious, but it takes on a somewhat off-putting brown color.  I think if she properly strained the fat before using it, the color would be a little more neutral, but I just shut up and fill my face.

In reply to wae :

I use bacon as the base for the roux for my shrimp and oyster brown. It's outstanding as well. 

The shrimp version isn't terrible looking but the oyster version always comes out kind of gray. Tasty but not necessarily appealing to look at. 

Served over a plate of grits, it's probably one of my favorite meals. 

In reply to Toyman! :

Well, my minor rant is that I am now salivating uncontrollably.  That sounds amaze-balls.

Satellite provider, who I've been giving money to for 25 years, didn't do what I asked, took money they weren't entitled to, told me I was wrong, then because online chat, told me they couldn't forward me to a supervisor. So I've been waiting on the phone over an hour.

I'm on a mission now

In reply to eastsideTim :

Now see that sounds great! I'll give it a watch

In reply to Peabody :

My wife can get that way too. Unfortunately it usually ends poorly for the person on the other end.

I don't know what you think cluttered is, but this ain't it.
