It’s tractor time!
A good 7 months and change after I bought it (well traded for it), I finally got my riding mower out for the first mow. It had gone through a few problems. First of all, the battery died. After testing it out with the van battery (and possibly destroying the van battery in the process?),…

Laptop update
As first noted here and then expounded upon here, here, here, here and here I am in the middle of snagging a free laptop. Just because my last post (containing the pic of my first arrived rebate check) in this vein was on October 1st, I do not want you to think that all is…

Here they come!

Free Laptop, Step 1
So today I started getting things going on my free laptop deal. 7 (I think it was 7) of the rebates are Staples easy rebates. Those can just be filled out online, so I got that going. In talking to some people, I did get one friend of mine that did the deal. He ended…

What’s better than a free laptop?
Why, getting paid to take a laptop of course. Those of you who have followed along my crazy adventures in coupon land know that is my mantra. So recently while browsing around online, I came across two threads talking about how you could make money buying a laptop. Visit those threads (especially the first one)…
