    Whenever it snows enough to need it, I will run my snowblower up & down the whole sidewalk along my side of the street, and will clear the snow off my elderly neighbors’ driveway aprons for them. They always offer to pay me for my time, effort or gas but I won’t have any of it. It doesn’t snow that much here that often anymore, so it’s a treat for me to break out the heavy machinery when it does. Might as well make it worth my time to bust it out, right?

    Last time, someone left a bottle of nice bourbon in a gift bag on my front porch the next day.

      After snowblowing from a heavy snow I did my neighbors driveway (they were at work at the time). When they brought it up later I acted like I pulled the most dastardly heist and cackled maniacally.

      Jokes on them though, i really like those kinds of outside chores.
