Our snow shovel is starting to show wear and tear after the last two big storms. In fact it has a screw loose — well, two actually. And one of those is lost in the snow. Fortunately, there was no run on sheet metal screws at the local hardware store. And they said they had a load of snow shovels due in around noon today. So I bought my screws and hung out until they announced the delivery wouldn’t show up for at least another hour. We’re on the “list” we’ll see how that goes. One of the replacement screws worked, so we don’t really need a new shovel, but I’d be happy to have a spare, just in case.
