I gave mine a workout yesterday as well. Did my driveway twice and my folks once. It was over the intake at my folks so it took a good bit of time.

My lawn service dude showed up with a tractor and plow late last night while I was watching my Cowboys hand the S'-ain'ts their first loss... He did both driveways (House and shop) and it took him two hours... He's gonna get a BIG holiday thank you come Thursday!

I still have to re-do the back yard, and all the walk paths between my shop and house, and the front sidewalk, along with the patio for the dog. My basset/Beagle is having trouble getting out to take care of business...

My neighbor has one similar to yours Mike. The best $700 he ever spent...for me! Made the job much easier. I will of course repay him in other ways throughout the year. He borrows stuff from me well, I cut up wood for him, etc.

You need to add a supercharger to that... I can throw snow about 50' with my (formerly) 8.5 HP Toro.

It's funny you say that. I have a BRAND NEW in box supercharger kit for 50-150cc 4-stroke engines. Is that thing 4-stroke? Paid $1000. for it. Make an offer. It's just sitting in garage. http://www.hscsupercharger.com/

I love to blow snow and my neighbor is 300 lbs. and lazy, so I use his every year. Free storage! Too bad we can still see the grass here so far this year.

Thats a nice blower!! Mine is an old, used up one that used to belong to my father.
It's been getting a lot of use this year though.

Hope you have some nice snow tires... on the car.

If it makes any of you all feel better it is a warm but rainy 73* here in Houston. Keep in mind it was 40-50 a few days ago. Been here all my life and I can't figure out this damn weather!
