Costing me a bundle!

BXmark · Jun 4, 2001

Well I did it--- traded in my almost new JD325 for a BX2200. It should arrive in a day or two. I just hope it lives up to everything you guys say because when my wife saw the invoice she said if I could afford to spend that much on a lawn mower then she was buying the new car she's wanted. So all together my new BX is costing me $38,000.

My wife "conned" me in to taking her on a cruise when I bought my L3710 - she just booked it for next spring - cost me about $1400 for the cruise tickets and with some out of pocket maybe $2500 total - I came out like a bandit!!!

I think you just got your first lesson in the econmics or wives, nice cars, and tractors. Somehow, they seem to go together a lot.

It must be a "female" thing. My wife keeps track of every little thing I buy and then hits me with "...now I get to spend the same amount on what I want" /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif. Now where's the logic in that??? /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

MY B-7500 CAME TO MY HOUSE AT 10:00 AM ON A SATURDAY MY WIFE WAS IN THE JEWELRY STORE BY LUNCH

Oh I agree with the wife thing for sure. I try to explain that this is not something for me this is to run the place with. I mean it's kind of like if you go out and buy a new air conditioner then the wife should go spend the same amount on jewelry or something. Yep mine does the same thing but I don't understand the logic either.

New car, cruise, jewelry. I have always told my wife I need the right tools to do the job. Now when she wants to buy something I get, "I need the right tool for the job". Humm...guess she learned from me /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif But, just as she enjoys seeing me happy I really enjoy seeing her happy /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

So what you all are telling me is to buy the tractor and the implements, and the . . . before a wife comes along. City girl I'm dating thinks anything with more than 3 square feet of lawn is a ranch and if you can't chuck a rock through your neighbors window from your porch, you live in the sticks. She is not likely to understand the need of a tractor.
