i had to just go down there all powered up
and drag the S.O.B. backwards up hill in neutral

(lemme tell ya that wasn't easy)

and load it in the snow blower rescue van
so i can rush it to the hospital

Mine has a friction plate, I haven't replaced it but it appears to be a relatively painless procedure to change, when I'll need to. Hopefully after I move to a snow free zone

Not sayin you should do it. whatever you're comfortable with. I have been get more comfy doing my own stuff these days, so thats my choice unless it's like a internal engine component, then I'll look for help, until I learn how to do that stuff too.

A buddy of mine who lives about a mile away and is terribly disabled was yakking about his 19 yr. old sat inside and watched him do all the shoveling during the storm. He just signed for a car for the kid. Thats was kind of bothering him at coffee this morning.

Disabled and he was out shoveling while his healthy, able bodied son watched from the warm house??? And he just signed for a car for the kid?? Did you recommend to your friend he get his head examined?? Who is gonna wind up shoveling out the kids car???

I don't know that we got amongst the greatest amounts of snow, but we definitely got the stickiest.... Still have 70% of the powerlines here in town covered in 1-3" of ice. Lots of them pulled down so low that a semi would probably hit them. The trees, poles, and houses are still covered on the north side. Once I got out of town I saw none of that on my way to a hockey in Andover. Must have something to do with the fact that Marblehead is surrounded on three sides by water and juts out into the northeast.....

AS it should have bothered him. Sounds like the kid is part of the entitlement generation. We have a neighbor who's kid is like that.
The mother says he has ADD....

I say he is just a lazy schlep. He stands on the porch smoking a ciogarette watching his step father shovel (step father is in late 50s)
