Ah yes! The old 3 string electric shovel that Freddy Newfeld rigged up for Eddie back in the day...

With the state the news & the country is in I spend the time the news is on surfing You-tube videos.

It's a lot more relaxing & a lot more informative...



PS: Actually, we never even owned a shovel, we did have a lawn mower though!


But we never thought to electrify it.

one of two things are necessary in life...1) you need leverage. 2) if you don't have leverage you need an angle.
This guy has an angle.

So if I wire up my old concrete shovels they'd be "vintage" guitars?!?!

Wrong on the shovel of D Street. Yes, we had one similar to the wide metal style used by the 'leaf men' who picked up leaves in late autumn....About 15" wide with a wooden shaft and sculpted hand grip at the upper end....it was heavy. We later got a metal flat style especially for snow....it was dark brown/blackish and bent at the corners from bumping into steps and such.....you probably never used either one. I was usually ordered to do Mrs. Larsen's steps, Mr. Sykes, Litt's and Scheckman....."don't take any money from Mrs. Larsen and bring the rest home..."
