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!

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.
