Price is Right

As Kirsten has put it best, the "crappy man" has done it again. While delivering a load of dirt, a lady was selling her tractor lawnmower. ****I stand corrected.**** Jake just informed me that it was sitting in her yard and he asked her what she wanted for it. That sounds more like my husband. Finding one's junk to be his treasures. The good thing about this one is that it runs. After charging the battery it fired right up. So that's a plus. It also has a deck with a blade that will cut the weeds. That also works. Double bonus.
Most importantly, the kids love to drive it. Since the smaller fourwheelers are a little more powerful for Cruz, he can't ride them by himself. He loves this. Put it in first high gear and it's perfect. The older kids of course can go a little faster.Now after all is said and done. Can you guess what Jake paid for this? I will mention that it is in actual dollars and not trade.

Erika won. It was $25. : )
I guess it was her boyfriends and when he died she didn't know how to use it.

Tell me why I ever paid $250 for an electric jeep at Wal-mart ... old lawn tractors put those to shame .... plus they never run out of batteries. FYI ... i got my eyes on another lawn tractor down the road ... just waiting for the right moment to get the best deal.
