Greenworks corded 13 amp snowblower rocks the first snow storm: Snowblew is the proper past tense

 I think we got maybe 6 to 8 inches? I ran the snowblower for over 3 hours - close to four hours. I tested out the 100 feet with the 10 gauge - to see how far I could get to the city road. I think I can get another 50 feet of the ten gauge. 

I never had the snow stick in the chute or get stuck - so my plan worked for just taping over that uneven opening in the clearing chute. I definitely was using the scraper. I'll check to see how well it holds up.

I snowblowed out four driveways plus the parking area and some of the road.

Is Snowblowed a verb? Grammer Girl youtube in Arizona

So it should be Snowblew 

I never knew the difference. I never really learned proper English grammar I guess. I just read a lot and I learned the proper grammar of Latin and Spanish. Well not that well obviously. 

So when I came inside after the first run of 3 hours snowblowing - I weighed myself and I was three pounds less than my weight early in the morning!!>The snowblower has no drive but shoveling works the back muscles big time. The snow blower is more of a full body easy workout although the main muscles used are the chest muscles. In fact it is just like bench pressing or doing pushups!!

Since I used to do a bit of benchpressing and got up to "two plates" and I was starting to do pushups again - this was a perfect exercise. Doing pushups is boring.

Besides now I can scrutinize the scraper. From what I could see so far - despite my serious scraping the rubber did not tear at all! That is truly stunning!

The Gorilla Glue polyurethane must have protected the rubber gorilla tape!!

 OK Now I will go scrutinize it to see for sure.

It's really strange - the "scraper" now has this pliable, malleable "lip" of the rubber tape with polyurethane glue. That "lip" that is bendable - was not there before. So my guess is the tape got pulled up and out a bit from all the scraping.

Wow - so far so good - the plastic scraper has been successfully protected and NO clogging of the chute!!

OK so it's the bottom of the scraper but not the edge of the scraper - the bottom of the scraper has the rubber torn. So I just put the polyurethane gorilla glue on the bottom of the scraper since it has an over 7000 psi rating!

dry

So we'll see how that affects the "scraping" action on the snow blower. I won't have to use it as much probably - it's just an emergency back up. Although I am supposed to be doing some snow clearing for someone later - so this will make it easy.

If I get another 50 feet of 10 gauge then we will have emergency backup for the whole development - in case the snow plow company has some problem.
