Steve, Not only your wife a good sport but she is one good looking/fit woman. She probably can kick my butt!
Thanks and yeah she can probably kick my butt as well!
Thankfully she isn't like that at all.

At 15 1/2 My Father was Dead from a heart attack. In those days 15 year old sons replaced the snowblower quite effectively. But the there were no video games, Mc Donald's had one burger store out in Centereach Long Isand, and nowhere else on Long Island, and we had not yet coined the term, "Couch Potato". My Mother only shoveled snow when I wasn't around to do it, a rare occurrence at 15 A Honda Engine, with fresh gas, a clean or new spark plug and all the controls properly set starts on the first pull, and I own two of these engines GX 270's rated at 9 HP, one is 11 years old. If your's didn't start on the first pull, you were doing something Incidentally . . . I use ONLY 100% Synthetic Motor Oil in these engines Because Non-Synthetic or synthetic blends contain Parrafin Wax in the oil which Thickens and makes starting in cold weather when the oil is thick, considerably more difficult. 100% Synthetic 0-W40 Amsoil 4 cycle oil is what I use exclusively. 100% Synthetic Oil has NO Parrafin Wax to thicken when cold, and create Engine Sludge as the engine operates.

The other problem is where do put all the snow that accumulates after each storm. It's like having a plow on your tractor, at some point you'll run out room to store all the pushed snow. I guess it would work if you had light accumulations with warm spells in between snow storms.
