I am 100% with Rog on this one. Whenever someone asks (while Diane is 
within earshot) how many tractors I have, I usually just mumble 
something about not being sure or not counting that kind of thing, like 
missed golf strokes. Of course, the golf thing doesn't make any sense, 
but if it staves off the inevitable, I go with it. That is also why I 
never remove more than a couple of tractors from one of the several 
storage locations at one time. More than three tractors sitting near 
each other starts to attract the kinds of questions I don't like to 
hear. :-)

As far as after I am gone, well, that will be someone else's problem, 
not mine. They will have a bigger problem figuring out where to put the 
40 yard dumpster for all the stuff I have "saved" in the barn.
