Dec 21 - this is not a toy

Typical label on a plastic bag, right ?  Well the instructions for the new snowblower were in a plastic bag with that label.  They should have had the label on the snowblower itself ... it's definitely not a toy !

I picked it up in Port Loring late afternoon; they loaded it into the SUV with a forklift.  All the way back to the cottage I'm thinking -- how the heck am I going to get it out ?!?!

Sandy helped .... :).  Actually she did but ultimately we had to attach the arms and roll it backwards off it's wooden crate and then down a makeshift ramp from the tailgate.  Luckily it wasn't heavy enough to damage the tailgate !  I don't know the weight limit.

I waited until this a.m. to finish assembly.  The chute took some time.  With a little gas and thanks to 120v electric start (the Ariens has that too), it started right up and I cleared the almost-4-inches from the driveway.  What a machine !  I love the hand grip warmers !  It probably took 1/4 of the time that the Ariens did.  Love it !

Earlier yesterday I did some more RUSA work and now I'm working on this CA filing which isn't easy.  A ton of info is required; a ton of info that I'm now pinging people to get.  As I collect that info, I'll be talking to the help line.

Onward !
