Take a sledgehammer and wrap an old sweater around it. This is your "shovelglove." Every week day morning, set a timer for 14 minutes. Use the shovelglove to perform shoveling, butter churning, and wood chopping motions until the timer goes off. Stop. Rest on weekends and holidays. Baffled? Intrigued? Charmed? Discuss here.
* Awesome picture of a shovelglove in front of a locomotive (c'mon, don't you want to click to see that?)
* References to homesteaders, pioneers, "mucking out horse stalls" and other inspirational figures and activities I don't fully understand but am deeply impressed by.
* Ends with a Robert Frost quote (we shuggers are literate as well as bone-crushingly strong)
