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.

Hi Mr Buttlint, Being a fellow Canadian from the land of perpetual ice and snow, I feel your pain. I thought 80 feet was the typical daily snowfall, not the yearly average. Live and learn. May I suggest you get a younger wife. One with more energy. There are certain side benefits to this approach, not the least being that she can handle a coal shovel and other wifey duties much better. Besides a nice 25 year old will look great at the office parties. Other men will look up to you as a real studly sort of guy. A win-win situation.

Hi... OK... $70... that's a lot... I suggest a smaller shovel for the 'lil woman to ease the work... Dave...

Re: the new moderator. Well she is a major improvement over those stuffed shirt guys we had on WTB. She fills our her shirt in a much nicer way. <>

She is quite the task-mistress...Do this...do that is all she ever says. (It's hard too type with this stupid blindfold on.) At least the welts on my wrists are clearing up. Wind are you viewing the threads in the "Thread mode" or the "Outline mode".
