If you've ever given a cord or hose a big, sweeping yank to dislodge it while steamed because of another hung up cord/hose and whacked something you wished you wouldn't have you'll quickly see hose blockers aren't an expense, they're an investment in sanity. When washing in the garage I only have occasion to drag the hose around the front, always use two blockers. When polishing I drag cords all over the place so block all 4 tires.

My #1 wintertime pet peeve: When someone drives over fresh snow on my driveway before I have a chance to shovel it. Unless I go out there with a garden hoe that stuff is impossible to shovel off! (I just spent an hour shoveling...)

A spade might be an easier tool for that chore.

One man's peeve is another's bonus. I've got a 500+ ft gravel driveway that snakes back into the woods. With a 4x4 I can wait for it to build up before digging out the snowblower and not worry about getting stuck. Even with the blower skids raised I sometimes find gravel flying when I hit a high spot. If the driveway freezes or gets packed down uniformly before the first blower exercise of the season everything works fine. I try to make tracks different places in order to spread out the packing so I don't spend all Spring picking up gravel flung far and wide. A packed down driveway can be a good thing. :hurray:

It was soft and squishy after a lot of rain last fall before the first big snow and the ground was still warm. I figure I'll be picking gravel til about June before I can mow... :doh:

Wonder how much it'd cost to pave 500 ft x 14' wide?

This can happen with most any car especially if you use just an open drain pan where the filter can slip into the pan and oil splashes everywhere. I now use one of those enclosed drain pans so you can store it in the drain container if I do not have an empty gallon jug.
