I'm turning into my typical winter broken record. More shoveling yesterday, though not nearly as much as previous days, and snow prep, which involves a lot of walking.

I picked up a Backsaver shovel for us in the office since we do so much and my back is hurting so damn bad from consecutive massive shovel days. I found that it doesn't 'save' my back as much as the different angles just target a 'new' part of the back to make ache. I guess it's helping as it's letting the mid to upper part of my back chill out while the lower to mid back does all the work now.

Potato vs potahtoe I suppose.

However, my upper arms are getting more of a workout with this shovel so they hurt worse than with the standard shovel. Can't win!
