Breaking the Jinx!
Original Message   Dec 19, 2010 9:55 pm
Oh Gosh I hope it won't snow! I just washed my snowblower and waxed it. It would be terrible if it snowed and got all dirty. I sure hope it doesn't snow this weekend that would be awful! It's too cold to be out blowing snow. I hope we have the lightest snowfall of the decade. Nothing could possibly make it snow. I hope we don't have any snow at all this year that would be great!

This year we will have no snow at all here. We won't get more than a flurry all winter. It's so great when it isn't snowing. There isn't a cloud in the sky!

Now to sit back and wait for the blizzard of 2011

Steve,
Make sure it is filled up with fuel too!! That might help the reverse effect...!!! Or you could trailer it here to Ontario, Canada, we got lots, my Wifey is from the Philippines also so no worries about them getting along!!! Used the Toro 826, 5-6 times already.

Actually it's filled up with a full tank of gas an Sta-Bil to boot. No trailer unfortunately.

Hey what part of the Philippines is your wife from? Mine is from Cebu (kinda obvious by the name) Does your wife use your snowblower at all?

Same here, new Toro blower and no snow! That will change by Christmas Eve is the forecast holds. I will post a review IF enough falls.

I know you've been itching to try it out.  You will be delighted in that 221Q.  It will work just as well as a 421Q, just a bit more rowdy.  :)

Sounds like a personal question.  May I suggest a more discrete method?  There's a PM feature for hooking up.

Not any more personal than anything else on the forum. Lots of wives don't use the snowblowers for various reasons. Most Filipinas don't like teh cold so they'd rather stay inside where it's warm, at least among the Pinays I know in the US.

OK Boys, My wife will be in the house.

I think she may be making cookies.

It is also the weekend so I need to make sure the snow is off the driveway before Monday morning so she can get to work.

Then I can enjoy the cookies.

LOL

Expecting some accumulation this weekend. Time to wash and wax the snowblower and the car.

Hi Steve, sorry for the late reply, busy time of the year as it is for everyone, finally had a chance to sit down by the PC. As for the question, I don't think it is a personal question. The Wifey is from ilo ilo, I had to start with lower case or it would look like IloIlo....lol. As for using the snow blower, she would if I would let her hehehe... BUT it is my toy and me likes to use it!!!! She loves the Winter, sometimes I think more then myself.

So did your jinx break!!! Did you get your machine out!! I hope so. Have yourself a very Merry Christmas Steve and everyone!!! C ya

The holidays are for family, they always come first.

Yeah I know Iloilo is pretty tough on a PC if you don't know where it is. I have friends who live in Bacolod which obviously is on Negros but you just take the RoRo over to Iloilo. You have some really good festivals there. Some are like a smaller version of Sinulog like we have in Cebu. Have you and your wife ever been to Sinulog in Cebu City?

My wife actually loves the snow and winter in general. Of course Visayan girls are the best!  You should let your wife try out the snowblower and let her in on some of the fun too.

Jinx is sort of broken, we did get an inch, but heavy accumulation is forecast for Sunday night and supposedly it's going to be a LOT of snow! Yay!

Oh did your wife setup for Christmas in September like most Filipinos or did she wait? Mine had to wait and misses the 5 months of Christmas they have over there. I miss shooting off all the fireworks at Christmas.

A Merry Christmas to you and your wife and a Happy New Year filled with lots of Snow.
