There were there were there.

Luckily for me.

The people next door had had their kitchen renovated and one of the workers left behind a sledgehammer and they said, just put this on your side of the fence.

And I was like, okay.

So I had it there for a couple months and haven't looked at it.

And then when I was looking at the ice wall that was around my car and I just thought, what am I going to use?

And it reminded me of being a kid where I grew up in Flushing in New York.

We lived on a pretty busy street.

And when the plow would come through, our driveway would get like a Game of Thrones level ice wall, you know, six to eight feet high.

Okay.

It's not Game of Thrones level exactly, but six to eight feet of ice is pretty tough.

Luckily, my grandfather was a brick mason and he had a massive old Ford LTD trunk full of construction shovels.

100%.

So when I was 10 years old, he was like shoving shovel in my face.

And he said, and I just have advice from my grandfather that he gave to me to everybody else out there who is still shoveling their cars out.

And he used to do it with the Italian accent.

Don't kill yourself.

Take your time.

Pace yourself.

Otherwise, you're going to be inside and not helping anymore.
