Had to buy a snow blower today...

[Anonymous]

Had no choice, really...  The snow is piling up here in my yard, and while that's not so much of a problem for my F150, I have some trades coming Monday.  I know what they drive, and their 1-Ton cube van would not be able to navigate this driveway as it was.



Went with Ariens.  Not the cheapest, but it seems to work well!  Hopefully it'll be reliable.



It was actually enjoyable watching the snow get blown 50 feet away!  I don't mind doing the outdoor type stuff like this, but I'm less enthusiastic about the 'indoor' work that I'm also needing to do here also...

We have a snow blower and a leaf blower we use for our walks, but I don't know who makes either of them..



That's my husband's department.

Is your driveway that long?  I thought you lived in the 'burbs!

No, I live in Bowness in NW Calgary..



Our driveway is two cars wide and not very long.

I thought so...  That must be short trip for the snow blower!



My driveway is almost 300 feet long.  I held off for as long as I could, but simply had to buckle and pay for a machine...

Yes, it is..



But, my husband has to do the sidewalk in front of our house too.

[Anonymous]

That's true.  The sidewalk is the homeowners responsibility in this Province too.



Luckily there's no sidewalks where I moved to, so I don't have to bother with that...  No sidewalks, no pedestrians, no bike lanes, no bicyclists...

My goodness are we ever entering a period of extreme cold..



And it looks like it will stick around too.

I have always laughed at people who use leaf blowers no matter how big or large the yard. Why harm the planet using dirty energy for something so light and easy to rake up. I feel embarrassed for those who use them.

I always laugh at girly men who don't know what a two stroke engine is or that they don't make them for the Canadian market anymore.

When I was a poor highschool student I had a four stroke Honda xl I saved for. It was reliable. It had light and mirrors and was street legal. Got me to work or wherever I wanted to go. All of my friends had 2 strokes. YZs and CRs. I would hit the mountains with them but I got left in the dust on straight stretches when their power bands kicked in.

A friend left a three wheeler at my mom's house when he moved to Ontario. Said I can use it. Still there. He has never been back as far as I know.

I haven't seen one of them in a long time.
