Preach it, Sister! I'm dealing with the same thing with Pops. He keeps dragging stuff home and I keep asking him to stop it. One of us thinks it's funny and it ain't me!
Right now I have two old Ford tractors here that need to come in the shop for serious maintenance work. Both of them need to be split in half for the installation of new driveline clutches. One of them needs a new front axle and axle pivot pin/bushing, along with a new steering sector. The other one needs a piston ring job, some tuning on the draft control for the three-point lift, and a whole bunch of minor stuff. There's a Ford Flex-O-Hitch disc in the implement row that needs a couple or three new blades and two gang bearings. The 16' flat trailer needs new fenders, new floor, and all new lights/wiring. That's just a smidgeon of the big stuff that needs attention.
Then there's the house... or maybe I should say museum. Pops has enough farm toys, feed store signs, and various nick-nacks over there to open his own antique mall. It's ridiculous. lol
Call those ‘Picker’ guys from PBS! I think there’s only one left, though. :(
I’ve half-decided I’m just going to have an auction. Turn all the heavy lifting over to the ‘Perfeshunals.’ ;)
