We got several more inches of snow last night.

Since I’ve had my back surgery, shoveling snow has been off my list of things to do. Unfortunately, my sons are lazy sods who can’t seem to be motivated to assist with this (without threats of death, or even worse… loss of their internet connections).

So… today we ran out and purchased this little bad boy:

Troy-Bilt Strom 8526 $798.00
8.5 HP / 26″ Two-Stage Snowthrower
• All Wheel Drive – 6 Forward/2 Reverse speeds with no pushing!
• 8.5 HP Tecumseh Snow King Engine
• 20″ Intake Height
• Push-Button Electric Start
• Just One Hand Operation – keep the unit moving while easily adjusting the pitch or rotating the chute
• 4-Way Chute Control with Single Lever Joy Stick
• 26″ Clearing width
• Built-In Headlight
• Reinforced Steel Housing
• 15″ x 4.8″ X-Trac Snow Tires
• Standard Chute Clearing Device

Just wow!! This monster can toss snow like it’s nothing! Even the crap that the city plows put all over our sidewalk was no match for it.

Fun!! 🙂
