Ooooo… all the makings for a power boat. Box equals hull and the snow blower might propel it using water as a sort of jet… it’s worth a try… nothing to lose.
Great art work Wiley. I assume that the object in the box is a snow blower. They are banned here in Florida, so , even those of us who have immigrated from northern climes, have forgotten about them !
@Manhunter808 -In the comics, anything is possible. In Non-Sequitur the impossible is probable!Wiley Miller’s brain ain’t wired like normal people’s. So that makes his comics enjoyable for non-normal folks.
…And to think, they will be handling our mail before long. I have had many things lost, broken and sent the wrong direction by UPS and FedEx. Once, I was surprised when tracking a parcel, to find that I had signed for it the day before. How forgetful of me! It WAS delivered the next day by the post office.
This is an excellent opportunity to think outside the box. The BOX. Make a raft from the crate, use the handles to make a a frame for a t-shirt sail. Flex the blades until they snap off and can be used as knives. Use the scoop and plastic wrapping (there’s always plastic wrapping) to make a water distillation apparatus. Use the shiny back side of the Snow King sign as a signalling mirror. Crack open the coil and unravel wire for fishing line. Use nails from the box as hooks. Use the output duct as a shovel. (It did come with a set of tools, right?)
First week in February,and here in Nebraska we seem to get just enough snow that the snow shovel is enough to handle any snow issues…as I see it using the snow shovel to dig a path to where the snow blower is stored would be a lost effort barring 3 feet of snow.
Mine is also a 2 stroke…I aquired it from a friend about 5 years ago….used it once…but for some reason there hasn’t been significant snow fall since…Did I tick off the snow Gods….eeeeh…..maybe
Fuel? Wow palm tree here… ferment whatever the fruits or nuts for alcohol and press the remains for palm oils… it isn’t like they are under a time constraint…

Send them a shovel, and they will never go back.
