So what I am reading from the above is that you broke your snow blower by running over the Aluminum Christmas Tree that you tried to trim.

Nice try. Actually, it is a leaf blower that is the same brand as the weedeater. I was taking the primer bulb off the trimmer to put on the blower until the replacements that I ordered get here. Xmas tree stand completely unrelated. I bought a "Grinnen's Last Stand" because last year the tree fell over in the middle of the night and this year I swore I was not going to use one of those POS plastic stands.

So what I am reading from the above is that using the word "blower" means something totally different to someone like Argon living in North Carolina than it does to someone like Murph, who lives in PEI, than it does to someone like Ken, who lives near San Francisco.

He is on the tightrope, Ladies and Gentlemen. Can he stay balanced?

Not if we all blow really hard?

With a vengeance?

All this blowing will create a stiff breeze.

I knew this was "headed" here.

We aim to please!

I watched Year One (with Jack Black and Michael Cera) last night. It had some funny moments, but it was pretty mediocre overall.
