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.

Well guys,
I think you were right!
The old gal just couldnt move the snow like she used too.
I loved her dearly...But I decided it was time too trade her in.
So I took her down too St. Johns and made a trade with old Rufus Macallister.
Seems he had these 3 daughters that just werent worth a lick to himself....
They couldnt cook...couldnt clean...and and none of lads in town wanted anything too do with a woman that couldn't gut a moose all right and proper. And thats for sure!

So we made us a deal....I figgered the girls all had good strong backs...and all they needed was someone too lead them in the right direction....and I knew I was just the man for the job.

Heck...Rufus even sweetened the deal with some cash....I got me enough too buy me a new suit of clothes and even spent some time down in Jamaica...freshening up my tan!

Hey 'lint old buddy, old pal, old friend. After a hard day of working in the shop, I'm sure the last thing a mechanic wants to do is go home and work on his own OPE. So, I'll tell you what old friend, how's about I come over and do the necessary maintenance on your new snowthrowers. Number three I might leave a while longer, as it looks like it is about to morph into a different species.

Honda stable: HS 724 snowblower;  HRS216 lawnmower; BF2 UWWW; 5 HP, 2200 psi/2.9 GPM pressure washer.
