And by all means make sure too bring all of your summer equiptment in too have it taken care of in the middle of winter. There is no better time too do it considering: I am 3 weeks behind in snowblowers from the last storm. The pipes too the powerwasher have been frozen since December. The last available air filter was used in the fall and I wont see another one until the spring order arrives. The shop has been hermetically sealed with polyurathane and duct tape for the last 4 months and has had one air exhange in that period. It is the most pleasant time of the year too sharpen a blade, blast dehydrated, micro-mulched, ddt laden grass clippings with 90 psi of compressed air and watch the particles as they are suspended in the air for the next 2 months. (I really enjoy as those particles attach themselves too the inside of my nose and mix with the annual post-nasal drip that everyone that lives north of Florida experiences at this time of year.) And make sure that you either call me every other day too see if it is done yet....or better yet....just leave the stuff in the shop for the remainder of the winter. And by all means....when first cut comes around...make sure you dump the gas from last year into the tank....and come back when I am 100 mowers behind in the spring...and demand that I take care of the problem instantly! (By the way....thats the best time too bring in your snowblower in for service.)

For me working in the small engine repair business, I was wondering when all you guys out there started thinking of pulling your Spring and Summer gear out to get it ready? Sherri Sherri, I can only speak as a customer. The snowblowers are gone, and I don't miss them. The tractors are sitting in there place, and I'm not looking at them. The only things that might catch my eye are a good deal and the latest and greatest.
