Thread: Acquisition disorders - not again!

When the wife says, "Honey, how many of those things do you have now?"

I answer with an approximate weight in pounds rather than the number of pieces.

The last time I was busted was over fishing gear. Had gone to Capt Harry's and came home. The wife asked, "So what did you get at Capt Harry's?" I replied, "I got some leader material, some hooks and a pair of pliers." She snapped back, "I saw a receipt on your dresser for $487.00." I responded sheepishly, "It was a really nice set of pliers." :-)

Rule of thumb I use as I get older,if you do not use it, get rid of it.
On CL today I sold 3 chainsaws,a warn winch I took off my dodge power wagon 30 yrs ago.
Two Nikon Cameras (non dig) 6 lenses,two nikon binos.
1000 rnds of .45 ACP,3 cases of shotshells,(all duck loads)
My duck club membership,is all gone

Yeah I agree Pixel, though I have trouble following through sometimes. If I haven't used something in a 12 month stretch, out it goes, generally. Exceptions to that rule exist, mainly for things with a potential use longer than 12 months, like the toilet cistern and various bits of plumbing for downpipes etc. Pieces of wood seem to hang around a lot too, never know when you might need to make a gate or whatever.
