Default Oh she's done did it now...

So I have decided to buy a machine from a fellow member. Before I decided I talked to the wife and she said "ok, but no house money goes toward it", me "no problem, I'll sell the husky as I don't need two grass slingers anyway". So we are sitting here yesterday and I get a call on on the husky, when I am done my son says " you're selling your mower?" Me "yes so I can buy another cub", son "sweet can I drive it?" wife "you are selling a perfectly good mower just to buy one that's yellow????" "You can buy some d*** paint and paint it yellow!" Me "it's not the same babe, this machine will outlive me"
her "it's JUST a hobby, an expensive one at that".............where did I go wrong with her last statement I just showed her the pics and went outside..buyer for the husky should be here Monday and I'm going to get the cub...

Try hiding it in the garage for a month or two. When she does see it you can say. "that old thing, I've had that." Just like when they wear a dress or shoes you hadn't seen.
Maybe you can let a friend buy it and give it to you. wink. wink. Just some ideas,
I'd never do any of them tricks. But if somebody needs me to help in the St.Louis area just let me know.

You need to check Craigies List pretty close on you way home so that you can pick up a parts tractor too................LMAO

Be tough man.......don't let her beat you down.......at least she is not calling for an intervention and the guys in green and yellow show up to take you away to help with your addiction.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
