Lessons from my Father

So I broke/bent stainless steel shovel handle while attempting to move some heavy wet snow the other day (The fact that it's hollow makes it seem more like aluminum, hence it bent). In the spirit of, "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without", that I learned from my Father, I poked around the garage and the shed to see how I might fix it. As it turns out I also had a Hoe that broke free from it's sturdy wooden handle. By removing the broken handle from the shovel and trimming the splintered end of the hoe handle I now have a sturdy wooden handle on my snow shovel. Thanks Dad!
