Yeah, no kidding. Wouldn't surprise me if at least one more happens before the end of the year; not that I want one to, of course, but it's.. almost inevitable.

Good Luck!
i would imagine that works if you do it often.

I think part of the really bad spots would have laughed at your leaf blower. I don't do it as often as I should.

Nope! My leaf blower is a BR-600 Stihl, it has no trouble with a gutter filled with wet sand from the roof or gelled leaves. It will move anything, well most things... I had an Echo backpack blower, but me new Stihl is better.

Ok, my son did most of it, I supervised.
Now, THAT's being smart. Have the son or son-in-law clean off the roof and clean out the gutters, you use the leaf blower to blow off the sidewalk and deck -

People were giving me weird looks today while I wore my N95 mask.. Despite this entire area still being at a dark red, unhealthy air index. Oh well.

Also, I guess I'm not the only flu shot procrastinator, Target was out of vaccine stock. RIP me, I guess.

Center for disease control stated that the shots for the last 5 years have done nothing. It does something. If you like getting shot with crap that does nothing but bad, go for it.

I rely on my actual immune systems.

Maybe less than they had hoped, but not nothing. It comes down to overall health either way.
