Why am I a glutton for punishment. Why, would those work well for pine needles?

Why have I not had to clean gutters since installing these 5years ago?

I don't have pine needles but I do have oak trees and tons of acorns

Why was I afraid of that?

Why, on the bright side, gutter chunks of needles and leaves came out in nice big blocks at 35 F.

Why not visit infrequently instead of live in Chitown?

Why is it I dream of dead pine trees and clean gutters while my friends in Cali play with ice blocks on hillsides this week?

Why if that works do it? Probably won't be any dryer than if you were on a sled.

If that had legs, I would be afraid of it.

Why does the internet keep tempting me? I got an email from Ebay telling me an item I added to my watch list just dropped in price. I also randomly browsed a semi-local bike shop's website and found an almost brand new Yamaha FZ09 I'd really like for one heck of a good price.

Priorities, priorities. I need to get this f100 on the road............
