In spite of what my kids might believe, I don't have a barn.  Not even a
useful tree branch.  I think I'll have Jen do the Tom Mandera back-technique
to get it off.  That'll be followed by the silliness of then bolting it to a
plywood base, then putting it *on top* of my travelall, carting it to the
storage place, and putting it in our storage locker.  Maybe if I go early in
the morning nobody will see me...

The next house will have a barn,
