I'm kicking myself hard. I live 1/2 mile from The Construction Site,
and I was
actually in there this past Saturday. I stared right at the Snow
Remover, and thought
to myself "Wow, interesting that they have it here! I thought it was
only available
at S@H". It never even clicked with me ... and my fiance was in a
buying mood, too :)
Well, at least getting there is no problem. Now, to get there as soon
as possible.
Thanks for the info, I needed a good swift kick!
