Brilliant!

I'll tell ya, Holly. I've tried numerous glove styles, rake styles and what have you and I've come to a few conclusions concerning the blister issue. Using a blower helps reduce the number and severity of the blisters, but raking is still involved no matter how much I blow. You can hire a neighborhood kid to do it, but, really, you think they are going to get every leaf? The number one conclusion is the more beer that is consumed before during and after raking strangely eliminates the blister issue entirely!

yes to both, I like the actual being outside, exercise aspect of it. But oh the blisters. How do you manage to avoid them? I do wait until they all fall before I rake, so it takes hours. But gosh I hate to do it more than once a year.
I set the riding mower to "MULCH." No blisters, but the occasional elbow problem from hoisting up the margaritas while tooling along. :)

It airs on ABC, but the first three seasons are available to stream on Netflix. I really like it. :smile:
Thanks, I’ll give it a look see.

If there’s an easy and fast way of doing chores around the house that are “good enough,” just ask me. (Oh how my wife hates the term “good enough.") She is nuts about keeping her karaoke room and bar meticulously clean (her converted side of the garage), and is constantly sweeping it out. Last weekend she asked me to sweep it for her while she went to the store as she was having friends over later. I opened the garage door and used the power blower. She was impressed with the job I did, but wondered why several of her things were knocked over. I told her the wind really kicked up when I opened the back door.
