Just want to say how stupid I am. After our first big snow storm (Dec ?), and 7 hours of initial snow shovelling, I promised myself to get a snow thrower.

I waited and, of course, we got more snow! Anyone trying to find a snow thrower locally knows there's none to be had - at least the kind I'm looking for (2-stage).

Well, I finally located a Sears Craftsman, model 88791. Have to ship freight from Sears in Idaho to here. I should have it next Monday.

I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner and saving all the back ache. BTW, we live on a dead-end street and its more than 100 ft. The plows NEVER clear it but, of course, just plows a mountain of snow blocking our street. Almost all our vehicles are 4x4/AWD but doesn't matter if you have 20+ inches of snow because there's not enough clearance.

This Thursday I'll be heading to sunny Aruba with the family. This Monday I hope we don't get any decent snow accumulation because I'm tired of snow!
