The post whore thread.

I will probably never move again just due to the incredible amount of stuff(and useless shit) we have accumulated.

We have done two major "clean outs/downsizes" in the last 10 years and I still can't imagine moving it all.

I almost feel bad for my heirs... and the auction company they hire to try and sell it.

Cleaning out the house to move and downsize maybe. I realized I have stuff that seems silly on face value like lumber scraps but end up saving me $ and a trip to the hardware store when I need to make a small project. Spare tools, specialized tools, etc. I think after next house move in and whatever projects need doing get done, the outliers of the tool and spare will be disposed of. I don?t need 30lb of random fasters. Haven?t used the paint sprayer but once. Do still need a framing nailer?

As money allows the tool boxes will be consolidated into a giant one and that will be the limit for what tools get kept.

I found clothing in the corner of the closet that I did not I had.

Please tell me it?s not just me.

Well............based on current pricing as well as availability. I suggest buying a few job boxes, hopefully from CL, instead of new. Loading all that in them, till you're settled in.

There's some odds n ends, material wise that made the trip with us. Nothing like rummaging thru the parts bins for a GFI and other electrical material. Instead of running around town trying to piece the materials.

For a while, not even the pro electricians and parts houses had an easy time coming up with a GFI. Supply chain, baby!

Well fuck.

It's already Friday here and we have to bury my mother today.

Gonna be a shitshow for sure.

I should get to bed.

My condolences.

Condolences from me as well.

Recently dealt with the death of a parent myself so you definitely have my sympathy.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Bummer to hear about that, brother.

I'm afraid I may be in the same situation myself soon.

Additional fun to share....my first Federal Jury summons has occurred. A couple of bad things about this potential are the fact that if I'm selected to appear, I must drive down to the shithole that some people call Phoenix, and find out if I get "picked". If that happens then I'll be subjected to staying in some crappy hotel near the courthouse for two fucking weeks....blow me. Not only will I be missing my wife and my dog the whole time, I'll have to tell the kid to cancel his trip down here and reschedule it. There's no fucking way I'm driving back and down every day, and no point in coming home for a weekend to either pay for a room I'm not staying at, or having to hope to get another room the following monday.

The idea of sitting in on some "big Federal case" does kind of intrigue me, but I'm certainly not impressed with the inconvenience of it all. I had a morality discussion with the wife the other day and pointed out I could easily get dismissed by saying wacky shit or pulling the medical card .... etc, but a lingering reality is I might be able to participate in saving an innocent person, or sending a devoted shitbag off to prison for a long time.

I'll find out on the 16th if any of this will progress.
