@jcboy,
Yeah, I guess it'd be a good idea to start it up ever 6 - 8 months or so
I bought a snow blower (like a lawnmower) a couple of years ago but have only used it once since we haven't had a snow dump big enough. We got 4" the other night but my neighbour cleaned off my sidewalk before I could get to it. Damn.
She's 78 and up at the crack of dark.
