The snow blower defrosted, the temperature outside is 12, winds slowed to 10, not much drifting, did the driveway in 2-1/2 hours. Tony, the guy I talked with came by when I was just finishing up, he has a small dump truck, with an 8-foot blade on the front of it and everything is hydraulic. I asked about getting on his schedule and if I would get a price break for that, to which he said "Not this year, and if you're over 65 I give a 10 percent discount. I gave him my card, he said he would get back to me next summer when he lines up his 2015 schedule. Now I'm trying to convince Carol that we should be spending the 2015 winter in Marathon Key, Florida - but I don't think she'll go for it.
