What is wrong with your snowblower?
My first experience owning a snow blower and I left some gas in over the summer. I sent it away to get fixed, the dealer missed several appointments to pick it up (and they are only in my end of town once a week) and when they finally serviced it I still couldn't start it. It's been in the shop for a week again and apparently they haven't got around to looking at it yet, even though Friday (tomorrow) is the day for deliveries out here. I had a great buying experience, and service has been TERRIBLE.
You've got to be kidding about No. 6...
I'd agree with most of it, though. Especially about writing that book!
Cheers,

Nope, not kidding. I think it would be a very interesting exercise.
Well, as I sniff the political darkness looming closer, I have to admit it would be challenging... therefore interesting.
Cheers,
RT
