Got a tiny path, barely wide 'nuff fer my truck, dug out finally. RAN to the Post Office, 2 banks, and to the snowblower repairman to drop off the beast. Don't EVEN ask how I got it on the truck. Ok, since you asked, I put the tailgate down and laid a old door up against it. Then me and the snowblower went all the way to the street and made a run for it. The snowblower FLEW up onto the truck, the door fell off and landed on my fricken FOOT! Argggh!
When I got to the True Value there was this beautiful huge snowblower there to die for! The man said it was $1,000. I said, I'm going to put that on my wish list for my next life. Then I was playing around with it and he just HAD to show it off. He showed me a little level that makes the shoot turn automatically. Then I asked, what are these cute little levers on the handles for? Are they the brakes? He said, nope, those activate the HAND WARMERS! I said, No Way! He said, WAY! I said, Don't tell me nothing more about this thing! I can't stand it! And he laughed and asked me if I would like a new spark plug in addition to the other work on my snowblower. Yeah, what the hell. I'll spring for the 79¢ spark plug. Oh no ma'am, they are $3.99 plus installation. Harumpf! WHAT A 2 DAYs I'M HAVING!

You folks in Buffalo & the Midwest can send all your snow here. (Eastern Pennsylvania)
I love it & am still waiting for our first snowfall. I like the Winter only when it snows.

WARNING: Do NOT lean on those large canvas covered carts at the post office for support when it's slippery out.
grumble...grumble...cuss...grumble some more. (first thing my fat butt has fit comfortably in, in 10 years)
