The snow blower is back in operation:

For the past two winters, the snow blower has been in an idle state, sitting with one axle on a wood block because of a flat and damaged tire. Until this year I've been too lazy to get the thing fixed. It arrived back from the shop today, just in time for our 2nd snowfall.

And yes, I really did take a picture of my own snow blower.

After clearing off the driveway tonight, I have no idea why I waited so long. What an easy-as-cake job that was.
