[Spridgets] Since the list has been "quiet"

[Robert Duquette]

Yeah, my driveway is special.  It's boxed in and, to oversimplify, slants
towards the garage.  I don't want water in the garage, so I move the snow past
the city sidewalk and let the melt go onto the street.  The big problem is
that the city sidewalk has been raised over the more than half-century since
the house was built and it dams the damned water.

snowblower (easy to identify) there's a picture of a "Yooper Scooper" to the
left (or whatever you call them in Canada.) A Yooper Scooper is an open sided
"pan" with a handle so one can scoop snow and move it to another location
without having to lift anything. They work real well if you have a sloping
yard so you have a "cliff" to dump the scoop. See one in action here:

foot wide two-stage snowblower on front and a blade on the rear, a walk behind
8HP snowblower, a roof rake, and an assortment of snow shovels. I sold them
all and moved to Southern Michigan. The first Winter here I went to Walmart
and bought a plastic snow shovel. Life is good now!!
