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.

Could be snow bunny territory, but for $60, I don't know how much blowing you're going to get. Snow that is.

It might be easier to get a new, younger wife than a $60 snow thrower. :-)

Nibbler,, My thinking would be going the other way. I think it would be easier to find a $60 snowblower at the garage sale run by the soon-to-be ex-wife of the man out shopping for that younger wife!! This based on part life-experience and part common-sense! Believe me, no one ever changed wives for $60! LOL!

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.
