Episode Synopsis:
When Jill's mother notifies her that three $50 bonds she bought for the boys have come due, Jill decides to let the boys figure out what to invest them in. When the boys decide to invest in a baseball card, Tim takes them to a toy store to make the purchase - but instead the three wind up buying an expensive remote controlled racecar signed by a famous driver. At home, the boys prove unable to keep their hands off this mint-condition keepsake and wind up severely damaging it but trying to hide it. When Tim and Jill discover the damage, they teach the boys a lesson by telling them that a buyer wants to give them $750 for the model - an offer the boys painfully turn down.

Meanwhile, Tim and Al go to a job site with the K&B guys to talk about how best to work on the high steel. Things get off track when Tim attempts to zipline down to an outhouse.
