Stop in for a cup of coffee

Until now. Im the only one in my house capable of de-icing the dish. Climb old tv antenna, step onto roof covered in wet snow and walk uphill 8 feet to the dish. Pour hot water onto dish. Done. Getting down was just as sketchy. Whole time these words keep going through my mind “this is stupid”
I have a super soaker that I put hot water in and then shoot it at my dish when it gets covered in snow.
