Started with the shovel and decided that was just stupid; gas into the snowblower, primed, and pushed the start - bang! Off & running on the 2nd try after sitting idle and dry for 2+ years.

Cleared the shared driveway and pipe.stem and one of the neighbor's around the front.


Similar story. Had about 7 or 8 inches and got industrious and decided to unleash the Simplicity, which hadn't been run in 4 or 5 years! Cleared the junk out in front of it, poured in a bit of Sta-Bil (do that every now and again, say 3 or 4 times a year) and plugged in the electric start. Been so long since I ran it I had to think about it a bit! Hit the start button twice and VIOLA!
The thing is a commercial grade 16 1/2 horse with a 36" mouth. Like you. did my drive and the neighbors. Only hard part is turning the BEAST at the end of a pass! Kinda glad I ran the thing. Doesn't do them any good to sit around too much! Got a rototiller that's gummed up and won't run for just that reason!

Yup. Got a yard vac/chipper that I cannot get to start; not that it was ever easy to start, :roll:

Yep, felt like someone beat me this AM, but I still went out and cleaned up the last couple inches that fell after running the thing yesterday. Guess I'm into S&M (shoveling and machines)! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Typos are so much fun! So, you think Rufus has a 36-inch mouth, do you? :wink: :lol:

No, I think I hit a period rather than a comma, as in: Like you, I did my neighbor's driveway too.

That is a display of garden furniture. Awaiting replenishment for spring sales.

That dinosaur is an excellent piece of garden furniture. What is it made of and how much will it sell for?

Indeed! Good questions. You might find customers for that item right here!
