I've been very thankful that I inherited this fabulous snowblower from my father-in-law. And with a few neighbours who don't have one, I've been able to help out.
"give thanks ... for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Looks like we're about to inherit a snowblower as well. Question is, how many neighbors does one help out each time? I love helping out but always feel a little guilty about turning around and going home... any advice?
Guidelines:
-only do the immediate adjacent driveways of those w/o blowers
-in my case I'm too tall for my machine, so my back is "killing" me after 3 driveways
-if you want to go further then clear out only what the plow piles in driveways
-if you still have time go as far as one tank of gas will take you -- by then the morning is gone.
-I stick to doing 3 driveways, but for sure my immediate neighbour who has back trouble.
so when does one inherit a snow blower from his father?
hahaha! I still do it the old fasioned way.
I waited till I was around 53.
Ahaha .. It's funny I never thought about the consequences of suddenly having a snowblower. You save all this time thanks to the machine, but then end up re-investing the time helping others, sometimes out of guilt ? hehehehehehe, oh well, atleast the neighbors will like you a lot !!! (which is always a good thing!)
I think eventually for me it would get to the point of bringing over the snowblower to the neighbors and saying "here, do it yourself and bring it back after!" :)
Well, these are all fine points. But even when we didn't have a SB, we'd still help some neigbours the old fashioned way -- with a shovel!
Yeah you're right, helping your neighbor shovel snow is the Canadian Way ... :) (I actually enjoy shoveling, so it's all good)
