Well, now that it's almost April, I guess it's irrelevent, but we had such a mild winter here in the midwest, that I feel stupid for putting the blade on my Murray riding mower, and the blower on the Ariens GT17, because I only used 'em once, and all it did was make a huge pile of snow at the end of my driveway that took longer to melt than the rest of the snow. Ever see a huge pile of snow at the end of your driveway when it's 60's and sunny....man was that a waste of time and energy.
