Maybe if I need a riding mower I'll go gas, but never for anything smaller than that. I got a 16" electric chainsaw. I agree, unless I'm deep in the woods, i'll never use a gas one again.

I'm a little wary of the snowblower; I'm sure it'll be powerful enough to move the snow, but if I end up with a longer driveway I'd be worried about running out of electrons. Takes two batteries, so I can't have a spare like the push mower (I have three of the big batteries right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 What happened to Doohickie? He's just vanished. I really liked his contribution to this message board, even if I hated to agree with him. In his honour I have changed my user name for a while. It's kind of cool thing to honour a past poster that we liked and who has gone by the wayside. Who knows, maybe one day there will be a 'Ghost of NS'. I suppose only if any of you liked anything that I have said ever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 If I ever had a super power, I hope it would be that no matter where I sat down, if I reached to my right, there would be a bass for me to pick up. … and it would always be wirelessly amplified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did in the Philly area, because it was only a few times a year and when it snowed everything shut down so there wasn't a rush to go anywhere. Now that I'm in CNY and RosePie needs to get to school (via car) every day I don't think I have the luxury to shovel a foot+ of snow before 8AM on a regular basis. I really did enjoy spending several hours digging out though in PA; have a cold beer or two, talk to the neighbors, etc. Edited October 25, 2021 by MattPie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennsylvania requires 1 shovel. That shovel should probably last 2 lifetimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shovel should probably last 2 lifetimes. For my sample set of one, a decent traditional aluminum-blade shovel lasts 15 winters. It was pretty shot and I tossed it before I moved; the top handle had cracked and was taped, the bottom edge of the blade had worn off the riviets a fair bit and was uneven. Still would have worked, but not on a semi-daily basis here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted October 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Wish this was Complaint Day. Got a day off after nine days in a row at work and it's raining and cold and I've been sitting here for four hours watching the plumber go in and out to his truck and back and forth to the hardware store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
