[QUOTE="freeisforme, post: 509380, member: 34644"] I was the last surviving relative. I was actually expecting there to be more than 200, way more. He bought two of everything all the time, whether it was a car, a truck, a tractor, a toolbox, etc. he'd buy two. If he really liked something or if he got a deal, he'd buy enough to last him a lifetime. His thinking was what if they stopped making something and he wanted another new one? So his answer was to buy many and save them for future use. I just brought a truck home that he bought 20 years ago and never drove, its got 900 miles on it. Its twin with 29 miles is still up there. I brought the truck back because it had 9 Evrinrude and Johnson 9.5hp motors in the back and it could tow another trailer full behind it. Its like having a new truck other than its got brand new dry rotted tires and needed two new batteries to get it going. Surprisingly it did great on the drive home after its long sleep. I got home just in time for it to likely get wet for the first time in its life. [/QUOTE]
