Who flips a coin for that sort of thing???

We bought a quad today. A really big expensive quad. I'm not sure we needed one, but now we have one anyways. Actually, I should clarify that: my 'significant other' bought a quad - my contribution to the purchase is equivalent to doing the paperwork and gaping over the invoice total (and just in case I wasn't sufficiently stunned about the price of the quad itself, he bought an aluminum trailer to haul it with too). All in the name of the farm and productivity and handiness! Apparently he bought the trailer so that I could pull it with my spanky little minivan. Isn't that thoughtful of him?

A bit superfluous, but still thoughtful (if I had a hitch on the van!).

Then his true intentions surfaced! He's going away to work - in camp, and wanted something to do at the end of the day (I guess sitting in camp doing nothing isn't his activity of choice - mine either, for that matter). Hence the quad.

Here's my main issue: Who spends that kind of money to alleviate boredom???
And to think that I had to talk him out of buying the quad that had the ADDITIONAL $4000 tank-tracks instead of tires. Actually, I didn't manage to talk him out of it... he flipped a coin - and thankfully the best 2 out of 3 happened to be in my favour.

Anyways, he's gone away to work for a while, and so is the quad.
I'd better hope that he doesn't find any other crazy gadgets he can put on it.
