I am definitely, 100% not helping out the neighbour. I already offered to show him how to use my snow blower. He declined.
I spoke to his wife the other day and she said her son is never outside anymore and doesn't go on our rink because "he's too lazy" and his father said the same thing to me about 3 weeks ago. No wonder why the kid is lazy. He's a product of his environment. My kids will be thrilled to come outside tomorrow evening and help clear the rink off and shovel a bit out front. IN fact we will go out every fe hours tomorrow to clear the rink off when we are getting hammered. It makes things easier if you clear it bit by bit, but I can always put the snowblower on it. I did that a few times last year. No biggie.
