Geez,
My wife often helps me debug and program my vintage computers!
She has gone collecting, but in general I try to keep her away from
places where old stuff gets exchanged for money, lest she get the idea
that this is a reversible process!
And we do have an airplane too, but its not kept in a hanger. Thats
an expense thats not needed. A tie-down parking spot at my local
airport (FIT) only costs about $40 a month.

that we needed to buy an airplane. This has since been
revealed to have been a ploy to replace my hobby of collecting large,
heavy items that clutter up the house and garage with a single large,
heavy, item that clutters up the hangar. Fortunately, I've been able
to see through her nefarious plan and am now planning a larger hanger
which will accommodate both the aircraft and the machines. That'll teach
her; I'll have three phase power, all of my machines in one place, none
in the house and -- hey, wait a minute...
I'd love to be able to buy an airplane, but I'd have to
move or rent a hanger. That's just a cost I don't need.
I also would have to get my pilot's license.
