$9.99 shovel from a local hardware store. Lightweight steel reinforced plastic blade and an ergonomically designed composite handle. It's pretty slick. It cleared the 18 inches of snow that fell last night.

Well, I decided on a name. I went with The Den for a few reasons. 1) this is a small garage, it's den like. 2) I attended (along with just about every member of my extended family) Washington State University so a Cougar den seemed to work. 3) I write and will be building a desk in this here...
