Default Came home tonight and...

Just got home from work and there was a box on my porch, picked it up and ran like a little kid into the house (glad the fiance wasnt here to see me) opened the box and there it was.....my brand new ACE 250. Gonna read and re-read the book and watch the video and hope for a heat wave to take the ice and snow away.

Good luck with the machine! And I'm praying for warmer weather for all of us to get out again soon.

Be carefull, they warn us against using them in the house. I suppose it might mess up the automatic ground balance? or something.
