Addendum To: Am I Afraid Of The Blower?

No, I am not afraid of the snowblower.  The last time I used it -- and I don't remember when, it's been some time -- it worked perfectly fine.  I don't remember the last winter in which I was able to use it twice in the same season, but it has worked so far in 2021-2, and if there's another hellacious snowstorm, I expect to be able to use it again then.

Just an update.
