Years ago when the (now ex) wife and I moved to our 2 acres, I bought a Gravely garden tractor. As winter moved in, I realized that I was going to need the snow blower attachment. The wife threw a fit because she thought $300 was too much.
The guy had other attachments, so I bought the whole lot.
First major snow... I'm out blowing 14 inches of snow off the driveway. The wife came out and was watching me. I was covered head to toe in snow. I stopped and gave her a big smile. She said 2 choice words I won't repeat, and walked back in the house.
She always hated it when I was right.
