Fish and paint chips are a delicacy where I grew up. I was born with such a host of mental maladies that any damage from paint chips would hardly be noticed. I took a Rorschach test when I was eleven and the shrink ran out of the room screaming. By the eighth grade my IQ had improved to 40 and 60 by high school. After high school the family moved next to a university and by osmosis when walking the grounds consider myself as educated at the graduates given their achievements in beer, pot and partying. I could now be a Menza Fellow but don’t want to show off. I’m a solid addition to the gene pool. Hay, I own a snowblower. What more could you want for proof of taste, good character and sky high IQ? When I latch on to handlebars and charge through EOD the blower knows who’s at the helm. My technique is so good I can march a 4hp through a 5 foot EOD and get results like no other. Snowblowers feel the power emanating from the helm and use it to toss 60 and better. It’s all in authority and firm mastery of the art of snowblowing. Around here I’m known as The Skipper of the Driveway and have the same legal authority as the skipper on a ship. I can marry people in my driveway after clearing and have a snowblower near by. Not to brag of course. Just letting you know the tall order honcho your dealing with. And they said the art of sarcasm was dead. 
"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England." "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."

That's the sprit Frank, ready, agressive and itching to boot some snow around. Me too. I've got my policeman's blue snowblowing jumpsuit all laid you ready go. It's got a beautiful gold reflective stripes down the legs and arms, epaulets, and chevrons all over imparting a bold dash of authority. You got a truck? You could bring over the Honda. The garage has lots of room and I got an extra dolly here. We could party. Yo Trouts: Get someone to go into your garage and mess things up real good before Frank arrives. He'll go off the deep end. He'll be like a whirling dervish organizing and setting everything straight. When he's done, you can both do double and triple checks of everything just to make sure nothing is out of place! Order is critical! I've got a friend with OCD. He's a "checker". Takes him five minutes to leave his house, another five minutes to start his car and another five minutes to shut it off. He also rides a motorcycle. Takes him two minutes to make sure the side stand is down. He get's off the bike, looks at the side stand, lightly kicks it a few times, shakes the bike a bit, couple more kicks, another shake, walks away, maybe ten feet, turns around and repeats. It's truly painful to watch.

Coldfingers, "I have an ariens track drive snowblower." Have you used it? If yes, what is it like? I have not seen one in action yet. I wondered of they are any more difficult or easy to use than a Honda. ---------------------------------------------------------------- On the party side if you want to join me and Frank come on over with your machine. Bring your dolly. You're probably an interesting guy. I've never heard of a dolly guy with an orange machine. It takes all kinds. I thought it was only a Honda red machine thing. No big deal though. Everyones welcome at the garage, no descrimination. Well......., it would be hard to imagine a John Deere dolly guy at the garage. Frank's dolly has a thing for his Honda so it's sort of a triangle affair. It's not so strange. There's a lot that has been published American Psychoananylists Journal and The US OPE Journal about these relationships. We can talk about these things at the party. You got a white painted area in the garage?

Here's Linda. Beautiful and race ready. Made of rare 1 x 8 rare American Elm supports and top platform of three quarter Furnature Quality German old growth Birch. Six casters of Swedish Steel with ball bearings for zero or hair pin turning. The casters can individualy retract or expand on commands from a remote wireless hand set to adjust platform roll, yaw and pitch in any attitude for heights between1 and 6 inches. Loading is very easy from any side. The Stealth Black top finish is Brittish Coach Varinish impregnated with titanium for wear. It also has a hand rubbed on magnitized top treatment of clear anti-static compounds that repell dust and dirt about 4 feet. It's a great feature to alleviate fears of dust contamination on a clean machine. It folds in two directions for easy storage to a square of 10 inches and light at 4 pounds. For long term storage the tires can self deflated on command from the hand set but refill has to be done by hand due to no air lines running to the micro valves yet. I've got the compressor mounted in the Elm supports but still waiting for the air line to come in from Lincoln Labs NASA division. Linda is in daily use so no problem with the air but I'd like to get this project finished. If anyone wants some blue prints email me and I'll get them right out.
