Howard,
I think gloves are a must. There are tools available for this job, but you
can probably home brew something. Something on the end of a pole that will
let you either push or pull the glop to a spot, then scoop it out. With
something to extend your reach, you won't have to move the ladder so much.
You can make a scoop out of something that will fit inside the gutter, like
a large coffee can or a plastic jug with the bottom cut out.
I'd be more worried about hornets nest's beneath the gutter, or under the
eves, or some other protected place. I don't think you are any match for a
hornet that survived 7 inches of rain in a flooded gutter. He's probably
real mad and going to kill you no matter what. You can always get a bee
keeper's suit, or one of those head to toe things the Moslem girls wear.
73, Steve KW3A
