it must be hard lifting with wings

[ACH0225]

Well, I say lifting more as "lifting". It's more flying with weights and things that are uncomfortable and increase drag.

Snow is heavy; frozen water, m8tey. And I don't magically hover, so liftint snow = lifting and leg lifts.

And all you do is fly around (with nnturally strong wing muscles) and carry some weights (in talons designed for lifting un-aerdynamic food and critters).

Can confirm that lifting snow is heavy exercise which trains, like, the whole body.
And even the roof of a small cabin can have like 2 metric tons of snow on it.

I, too, can confirm that a massive shovel full of halfway-molten snow is pretty hard to lift.

No one has any gigs in the winter but being a roadie gets pretty physically demanding in the warmer seasons.

Why the fuck do all modern radios have to be so opaque? I picked up a 70s CB radio at a hamvention for like $5, and it's a brick, but every single thing in there is made with honest-to-God individual parts. I pulled open my ca. 2012 FM radio, and despite being the same size and having similar features and performance, there's basically nothing but a single-chip, single-board solution in there with one black box IC - how the hell am I supposed to alter that?

We moved out of the icy North last month, so no snow shoveling for me!

You aren't.

I imagine that particular radio might not have been meant for modification.

Neither one was, but the new one still sucks.
