Good question, I have a large shop behind the house that I work out of so I have lots of room to hide my stash. My general rule of thumb is "don't ask-don't tell" or if asked directly only give out as much info as needed and change the subject quickly. However my wife did ask me if I made any money at the swap meet and I told her the truth "yes, but I spent it on more bike stuff" and she just shook her head. I have even told some untruths "bald face LIES" from time to time to keep the peace, most often about how much a bike cost. My wife is not into cycling and just doesn't understand why I need so many bikes. Now, how am I going to explain the orange Casati that is going to arrive here any day? Can't hide it amongst the fleet, too orange. I feel an untruth coming on. Richard Borneman Havre de Grace, Md
