Snowblower (the saga continues)

[navygreen]

Well, the driveway is all done again. Maria's husband Bobby came over to show me how to work my snowblower, and two friends of his came with him -- with their own snowblower in tow. This guy - Waylon - used his snowblower and did all of my driveway for me in about 4 minutes (there wasn't a lot, since I'd done it last night). I didn't want him to just do it FOR me, I wanted him to SHOW me HOW to do it myself with mine. I wanted to do the driveway on the other side of our house (since it melts down into the end of our driveway). He taught me all about the snowblower, and I ran it about 3 feet...

and then ran over something and broke a part.

*sigh*

So now I have to go to SEARS or somewhere and see if they have some pins for it. Waylon said it shouldn't cost more than $5 or so, and that it's a safety measure for the blade parts. I'm glad it won't be expensive, at least.

Henry does that to me alot, I'll ask how to do something and he automatically does it *grrr* If that's what I wanted, I would have just asked him to do it!

If Waylon wants to do something for you, tell him to go ahead and fix the blower ;o)

Yeah, they're called sheer pins for a reason. They sheer off when you run over something rather than damaging the machine. Tillers have them too, as I've learned ;)

Sounds like nothing is going right this week, I'm sorry to hear that. I am glad it didn't really damage the snow blower :)

*HUGS*

Good grief, that sounds like my luck when it comes to all things mechanical. *hugs*
