OT Hachi/snowthrowers

That was a...um...Low Blow...

Ugh! Put 'em BOTH up against the wall!

It ain't happening tomorrow! We figure, if it's lousy weather, it ain't worth it! If we were getting PAID, it'd be a different story!

Perhaps next week, if it doesn't snow for a THIRD Thursday in a row!

Sorry, I hope the remark doesn't get blown all out of proportion.

Nah, I think you snowed 'em pretty good!

Dusted him, ya think?

Got pix of your new snowblower?

Sure!

Boy you WANTED that bad boy!!!!!!

Started bidding....and ended up with a large bid at the end.

What would I have had to bid to beat ya?

Looks like it will do the job!!!!!

I wasn't going a lot further...

I figured with getting it here, about $50 as it turned out, and then any repairs, I was going to stop at $75.

But, bear this in mind: I paid $350 for one just like it that the auger gearbox quit after 5 uses! This was from a shop, too! When I called the guy, he says "What do you want me to do? There's no guarantee on used equipment!" FIVE USES?!?!?! I finally got him to give me another one with a blown motor but good augers. They are REALLY easy to work on; it took

Sounds like fun!!!!

I've never used a snow blower, but it does look pretty neat.

I play the Ebay game a bit different. I was after a Bell & Howell Slide cube projector and did the last second bid a couple of times.

That did not work. Found one that ended in the middle of the night and put a max bid in at about 8 PM. I was very amazed that I won that one without the other bidder even bidding me up.

Ebay is fun.

Looks real nice-just in time for the weekend storm, eh?

That's what I was thinking, but it looks like it's going to be mostly rain now. That's OK!

Give 'em a break--they're just trying to cement their relationship

Yeah, don't want them to feel too mortified (mortarfied). I know - a stretch.

But hey, my spell checker wanted "mortarfied" to be "mortified"; so some vindication. ;-)

Your spellchecker may be "plastered"

A good come-back; I may have to throw in the trowel if I can't come up with another one.

So you think that remark will smooth everything over?

Usually, I win what I bid on. There have been a few times I had to 'snipe', because I got sniped a few times. I'm surprised I got this thing for only $60. There was a 7 or 8 I was bidding on that went for >$300!!!!

Ugh! The two of you are about to make me grout!
