New Snow Toy


Friend dropped off my new snow toy last night - a 3hp, 20" wide, single-stage snowblower. This was in trade for two 24" Trek mountain bikes that my kids have outgrown and that his kids will enjoy in the spring.

This mighty two-stroke worked wonders today. Quickly cleared near my garage doors, down the front walkway, up the back walkway and even my deck. Light and easy to handle, this "power shovel" was simply awesome.

I did the majority of my driveway with my tractor/bucket and would not want this to be my only snow clearing device (especially if heavy, deep snow or plowed in at end of driveway), but for cleaning around the edges and doing the walkways, this was perfect! Let it snow!!

Souns and looks like a neat way for a quick or auxiliary cleanup.
Have fun.

Bicycles: powered by human, life-giving, heart pumping, ozone loving, Eco-friendly transportation

Snow removal equivalent: a shovel.

Lol. I look forward to the day, when I no longer have a day job that robs 8-9 hours of my 16 hours of awake time daily so that I can once again trade complex efficiency for simple exercise via chores.
