yeah, but then you'd have to go the Customs' House in Boston and take the test 
for your Third Class SnowThrower/Blower ticket.  you know, Elements 1, 2, 9 and 
the special supplement on electric starters.  and don't even get me started on 
the LED versus analog VU Meters for gauging RPM/Decibel levels...

actually, i noted that Dan Cole has a trusty Toro 521.  i just passed one of 
those along to my brother-in-law after 16 or 17 years of faithful service 
thanks to the gift of a 13.5 HP MTD YardMan machine from Maine's Chuck Morgan.  
Mr. Morgan has relocated to Florider and will hang up his Morgan Media shingle 
down that way, as soon as the movers get it off the truck.  i must admit that 
the 13.5 HP with a 36" cut path makes one feel rather "Binford 9000"-ey.  
   My condolences, Bill, on the untimely passing of the auger.
