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.

Don't just throw the 90 year old wife out, Trade her in for three 30 year olds. One to shovel the snow and one to cook, and then there is one left. you'll just have to find somethin for her to do so she won't feel left out.

60 bucks, Had to be a jacobsen snowburst on e-bay.

As long as you didn't go south on us and trade in the wife for a cabana blower boy, I don't care what you ended up with.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Seems like Navihawk is suggesting 'Lint go with bottles of booze instead. Can't blame him if he does.

Now Ben07, are you married? 'Coz I don't think I'd be too happy ending up with three wives. Am not sure if any of the guys here would too. Anyone?

Good idea though.

Yes married, and another female in the house, Daughter away at school. only reason I mentioned that is when she is away 9 monts of the year, sure I miss her, but there is noticably less hassles with only one female in the house. Bummer when they get in groups .LOL J/K
