I guess it's a seller's market now.

I tried to sell our snowblower a few months ago, but just got hagglers that wanted me to give it away. Today I posted it for sale again (on the discussion board at work) and it got bought in a few minutes.

Then I went out and shoveled the driveway.

I know for a fact that I cleared it way faster with a shovel than I could have with a blower, and it's probably something like 1/10th the work I do every day to ride my bike to work. Our driveway is about 80 feet long. It took I think about 20 minutes to clear.

That's more like me too. The driveway is about two cars by two cars. Six inches of snow, like this morning, would take me two-three hours. I spent 20-30 minutes this morning with the snowblower, and I didn't feel like I was going to die.

But, John's insane. It's one of the things we like about him. And this gives him something to talk about with Tullio "The Shovel" Proni.
