Have you ever been to Cleveland, Don?

I just recently stated that I have not been to Cleveland and was basing my
observations on one particular representative from that area.



How utterly ignorant of you...but we have come to expect nothing less of
you.

If you need a snow blower in the first place, typically means you physically
fail. I admire those of my neighbours who shovel manually and some are well
into their 80s. There are the odd (odd) few who have machines and start them
up for the lightest accumulation, look real foolish and some have such a
small lawn to keep and they also have the big John Deere. So I believe you
have already failed the test.



Snicker! :o) I have a snowblower. Does that make me a odd (odd)
fellow too? If it does, Should I tell my wife?
I also have a riding mower too and a acre to mow with it. (not a John

We have a weather warning for a blizzard tonight. Expect between 20 and 45
cm of snow blown around by winds from 70-90 kph. This should be a good
test
for my new Toro 1800 electric snowthrower.
I'll report on how it performs.

As promised.
Woke up this am to about 10" on the ground with some drifting. Carried the
Toro 1800 up from the basement and out the front door to avoid the hike from
basement door way around back.
I believe this test was a good one as it pushed the thrower to it's max.
When pushed into the snow to make the 1st cut the machine laboured. I had to
take it slow and let it work at it's own speed. This was equivalent to a
slow shuffle. I made one cut extend to include the neighbour next to me.
One the way back, for the second cut, I only took about 9" rather than the
full 18". What a difference! Moved along at a nice slow walk and the
machine seemed to keep it's speed up.
Next, I tackled the bank thrown up in our driveway by the city plow. I had
to lift the thrower and use it as a shovel/thrower combo. Once I made my
first cut, the next was much easier using the half capacity mode again.
My verdict...much better than shoveling and marginally better than the snow
scoop. The big advantage will be when the banks are so high it's difficult
to place the snow. Then the blower should shine for each additional
snowfall.
Complaint...the 100 ft 12ga cord does get in the way at times and the
adjustment for the chute exhaust height is a bit loose. I'll tighten up so
it stays at the setting I choose.


If you start in the middle of your area and work towards the outside
in a spiral, you won't have to adjust the shute much...or re-shovel
the same snow twice.

you liar,,, the reason you do not do the driveway is because of your
extensive medical problems. Now you are not even supposed to lift a shovel,
where was Hazel? I can see this now, Hazel in the door yelling "you old
fool, stop that shoveling, doctors orders" ,,, lol,,.
Tell me krause,,, were all the deer and buffalo and 50,000 squirrels
watching you, admiring you, waiting for you to feed the little critters as
you suggested? LOL,,, krause you sick senile old liar fool,,,, lol,,,

I shovel the sidewalk from the driveway to the front porch, but I don't
bother with the driveway.

I am not perfect and make mistakes. If that mistake makes me an idiot in
your eyes, so be it.

Which 'buddy' are you referring to? I haven't associated myself with
any derogatory posts about your home port. Hell, I wouldn't mind
visiting it one day.
