Need new snowblower.
Original Message Dec 2, 2004 7:31 pm

Hi everyone. My wife is sick and tired of removing snow with a coal shovel. She is a good woman, but she is getting close too 90 years old...and I have decided that it is time too invest in a "snowthrower". We live on fixed income...and can afford too spend possibly $65-$70 on a new machine. We live in Newfoundland, Canada..and our average snowfall is about 80 foot per year. Thanks in advance.

Hey 'lint old buddy, old pal, old friend. After a hard day of working in the shop, I'm sure the last thing a mechanic wants to do is go home and work on his own OPE. So, I'll tell you what old friend, how's about I come over and do the necessary maintenance on your new snowthrowers. Number three I might leave a while longer, as it looks like it is about to morph into a different species.

Lint, You needed to get rid of that thief anyway!!

Look, that little he/she stole the lettering right off of your hat Lint!!

The new "twins" are much easier on the eye, better than the pre-op tranny.

Can't help you with that because down here we don't blow white stuff but we can sure give an eye on these pics

Never let a child running these machine without watching them carefully

Be glad too hook with the numbnuts.....Maybe do some trade for some SIL action?
Teaches me I gotta watch who I deal with in St. Johns.....(Bad a$$ed crowd up in Newfieland.)
I give a couple of extra cod cheeks and seal flippers for the she-man .

What do I get in return? ............A Honda blower with a Tecumshe engine!
