It makes you wonder, with that kind of income, how he could afford to have a kid come mow his yard. Well, I worked cheap, and he let me take his tadpole trike out for rides.

I took it to school one day. My Mech Drawing teacher took it for a spin. Then he broke his foot with it. Don't put your feet down! The brakes work!

Ah, good times.
I got a "junk" tractor from a friend... (lawn mower tractor) and it has foot rests on it. I'm going to put them on mine, so that I have a place to put my feet if I don't want them up that high... just an insurance policy, in case my feet come off the pedals while the motor is running or something.
