  2. Who would have guessed you can blow things around with a leaf blower, my life is now complete.

  3. Lol I've used a leaf blower for years. Didn't realize it was worth a video.

  4. Ice had to be separated from the surface. If melted into the surface and refrozen would have failed. Sounds like these conditions are not uncommon given how many people do just this same trick.

  6. It is my view that Google must be owned by the people of the US. It cannot remain in the hands of the current owners . This is a national security issue, we cannot have far left or far right people running such a sensitive company.

  7. Don’t worry the ban will be coming soon to your locality. What’s more environmentally friendly than making, using and discarding batteries? Soon you’ll be doing yard work like it’s the 17th century….sickle, hammer and fork.

  29. Our leaf blower for shoveling saves us four hours of work. We have a huge deck with a hot tub so we have to clear that and a massive driveway and have an air bnb so we can’t let that go either. It works for light snows or ever two or three inches of snowfall at a time, but it does work with a powerful one. Our is Eco. (Not sure if that is spelled right but pronounced Echo). Why we just tried that this year for the first time I am not sure but so glad we did!
