I think you will make it. When you start talking addictions, buying and working on old tractors is pretty benign. Much more healthy than drugs, alcohol and wild women (not that I know anything about those things). Just prepare yourself for the costs involved. For every dollar you spend on your tractors, be prepared to spend 3 dollars on things your wife wants. I would caution against buying tractors on the sly though. Be up front and honest and be ready to bribe her by allowing her to buy what she wants. Soon she will beg you to buy new tractors.

You remember, that was the one parked out back forever." They loose track after the 3rd or 4th one. Good luck and enjoy...BB
