May or may not have you beat. All I asked for for my 12th birthday was a mower. Got a 3 1/2 hp push mower. Yea did well mowing. Walk up and down the street and knock on doors. $10 a yard. 1971
Sounds like you were a spoiled brat. I think I had a 3 hp push mower, metal shears for "weedeating" the fence(dreaded task) and I only got $7.50 for most of them. Think it was '71-'72 too lol.
Somehow we made it didn't we? Pretty rare to see a kid doing yards anymore. I was proud of whoever a local boy was who had an ad in our small town paper back in May. Thanks to Trump maybe they'll take the opportunity, and get off their butts and get after it.
Come on parents!
I don't think you know me.
