What Snow Blower Do You Have?

That's just as (in)valid as Springfield saying that their town is pronounced "Smith". Sorry, but it doesn't fly with me. If they want it pronounced Peer, than name it that!

Oh, and to answer the original question, I have Mike Andrew's old single-stage Toro snowblower. Just about time to bring it out for the season. It would be possible to load it in the back of a truck, but I'd want a ramp to do it.

ok so it was French at one time http://www.allgetaways.com/view_destination.asp?destinationid=XGP510-017 but I suspect local pronunciation override's namer's rights ...

rats - Frank's beats mine ... (just wishin' it was mine)Now that's what I'm talkin about! Can you imagine the guys at the airport when I unload this baby? Talk about snow blower envy!

Seems like the operator should be wearing hearing protection. Must be a photoshop result.

I think Pierre, SD, even being the capital of SD, has got to rank right up there in mispronounced names ... no, it's NOT French! ... rhymes with deer. OK, maybe it WAS french, but not any more.

I for one am tired of sports announcers for Packer games.

Its Green BAY, Not GREEN bay. Get it right, EH?!

 

[Ghery]

Moscow, Idaho and Moscow, Russia. One pronounced mos-coe and one mos-cow. At least the distinction is made locally.

Just started using it this weekend. Best I've ever used.

You can borrow mine if you'd like to try before you buy.

EDIT: carry-out only. Not to be combined with any other offers. Delivery charges may apply. Expires December 2009.

Well, I bit the bullet and bought a Toro just like yours. They were out of electric start so I had to settle for the pull start model. I can't wait to haul it out to the airport and try it on the 4' drifts!

Thanks to all for your input and recommendations. I really appreciate it.
