What I meant was most lawn mowers are basically preassembled. You seldom have to do more than fill it with oil and gas and unfold the handle and for the really mechanically  inept the store will do these things for you. Wow.  it sounds like you had to do a bit more than that. You must have took a bunch  of tours of the factory and pocketed all the parts over the last year. Now *Thats* really cheap!

You have no Idea. Do you remember those little wooden carts that we saw down there at the Fair? It just so happens They match the Wheels Perfectly for a Mower.

Just outta curiosity, I was wondering why you just didn't get one of those Murray's from Wal-Mart?  There about 100 bucks, have Briggs and Stratton motors and WM will assemble them for you.

I know that WM is like the anti-christ and everything, but they do have their uses.

actually I had planned too. But awhile back, Before My step son gave me there's, I had Heard about Home Depot, giving Soldiers families a thousand bucks each for home home repair, If they signed up fast enough. I believe the initial fund was around a million. So I had made up my mind to go ahead and Buy from them. In a way, It's only $20.00 differance, But It was the princible of the thing for me.

trust me , My wife and I went over It and Over It today about that. She's very pragmatic, and I'm very cheap, But I wanted to support a company that's supporting out troops. Right or wrong on the war, I will always Try and help those who help us here in the states.

I know alot of peeps will see this as a lame excuse, esp. with everything else going on, and Storm can attest, that I'm the cheapest man he ever met.    Hehe, He offered to help me Buy an Oil lamp the othe day for denise, but the cost was incredible. She did get a candle though... Her Pragmatisim asked, Why didn't you get me a lamp, I can use over and over ...

I stoped by a local chain Store called Biglots, Looking to replace my lawn mower that was stolen last week.  anywho, No lawnmower, But here's the funny thing. I picked up some software, and The prices for them where Great.

MOO 3 ----$ 5.99
Total Annihilation ---$5.99
Starlancer --- $3.99

And the oldest game I bought ...
SSN (Tom Clancy) --- $7.99

I seriously don't think they new there Pricing very well to have SSN cheaper then MOO 3.

Oh well, I went to Home Depot and bouht a mower, and Pretended to have such a hard time putting It together, My wife called our Son Nathan (The Mechanic) and he'll come over after work to put It together , while I play a few old games.

They new there pricing alright MOO 3 is a horrible game the best strategy in the game is to simply hit the next turn button over and over again and you will win, try to manage anything and youll end up losing.

I discovered that yesterday in My first game. I also noticed No Instructions at all, no tutorial etc. I haven't been to there site yet, to see what they have there, But IMHO MOO2 is a far superior game.

Try the MOO3 patch.

I haven't won a game since I patched the game. Now you have to build a fleet and build it fast or you'll get swamped by enemy fleets.
Diplomacy and a bunch of other things got fixed too.

The patch makes it a much better game now.
