I am looking into buying my first snow blower and am trying to decide between which brands to get. I am leaning towards an Ariens because of it's all steel contruction, but the Toro's keep pulling me the other way. I also heard that the Ariens as of late are not built like they used to and are not as good a quality as the old ones. Is there any truth to this. I don't really have a big driveway (entire driveway fits 5 cars)and would think that a 5.5 or 6 hp model would be good enough but would that still work when we get dumped. Any help would be appreciated.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
