Well, I have started down the path of buying something else I don't collect.

Yep, you might want to get started building that addition onto the storage shed right now.

 Knowing that you have no storage shed or any place to build one, I would suggest you send that sign to my storage shed and stay with small wrenchs. Neat sign.

Young guy question

I know delaval made cream separators, but when did cream separators stop being popular and stop getting used.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Probably in the 50s when milk cans stopped waiting beside the road for pickup by the dairy and everything switched to bulk tanks and tank trucks.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance!
