The Tractor Collector "10" Commandments

Thou shalt not store thy tractor out of doors, except for thy modern iron.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors tractor, nor his shop, nor his battery charger.

Thou shalt not love thy tractor more than the wife and children; as much, but not more.

Thou shalt not read Old Allis News on company time, for thy employer makes it possible to continue thy tool payments.

Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's Farmall, nor his John Deere, nor even his 2N on steel.

Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy sons to get married during the holy days of the Gathering of the Orange.

Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thou art taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when indeed, thou art going to look at another tractor.

Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to thy house then use it to store tractors.

Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of the restoration, at least not at the same time.

Thou shalt not buy the wife a floor jack for Christmas.

I like it. I let my wife read it and I caught a short smile. Although she didn't admit to it afterward.

Just like the gun safe. Have it so over crowded that she never notices when a new one arrives. Wink
