Tom, congrats on your 2019 totals, especially the cash, which I believe is a record for you.

I hope 2020 goes as well or better for you!

Glad to see you still at it Tom as I enjoy following your tally. Do you have any idea of the amount of tools you have collected over the years? It seems you are always adding to the tool box. Outstanding.

I'd say I get about one useable tool a month. Mostly sockets, the ones people lose in the cavities of the engine compartment, later to be shaken loose on the road!

Now that's a funny image. I pictured you forgetting about the length and steering between two parked cars...CrazyTom got swept right off the bike.

Or a dog with a big stick trying to get through the back door.
