·So did anyone do this as a kid?
Yep plenty and mowed lawns too! Things ain't the same nowadays. I don't expect any kids knocking on the door looking to shovel snow.

·Not till saturday
Thanks for the heads-up. I still have time to snatch up all your watches for pennies on the dollar. What is the exit number on the Merritt? 😁

·I grew up in the Berkshires, I used to walk a 10 miles to school barefoot in meters of snow, uphill, both ways
Carrying hot baked potatoes in my pockets to keep warm. Then eat them for lunch and was grateful.

··Hoarder Of Speed et alia25th winter with “old reliable”.
Canadian made (but not anymore) and never a storm it couldn’t handle.
A few oil changes and spark plugs over the years. Some gas and air in the tires. That’s it.
5 speeds forward, 2 reverse. Electric start.
Wife thinks I’m nuts not to hire a service to plow but I actually enjoy it.
Wish I had held on to the original box and papers😀

You had potatoes for lunch?............Luxury!!
We would eat the peelings from other kids potatoes and then the teacher would beat us about the head with her ruler!

·Cool! I miss the snow. As a kid we always had a lot of snow in the Netherlands. Now we need to go to Germany or Austria to see the snow. It's a shame...

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI did too for a few winters, the suckers would always feel bad at the end of it and add on a few extra dollars😁. Wasn’t all that long ago, maybe 8 years
My wife is one of those suckers. Since she grew up snowless in Australia, I think she doesn't understand that this is sort of a "right of passage" for many Canadian kids at least. You learn the value of finishing a job you started. He was well paid too, even though she was out there for at least 50% of the time he was there. Didn't mind, he's a good kid...
