Are we hoarders
I believe all homosapiens are hoarders in one degree to another.
I recently moved and had to rent a 20 foot box truck just to to my stuff to the dump and that's after donating and selling some stuff.
I've been dragging around my 750 honda shadow that I haven't ridden in 15 years all because it was the first bike i bought as a young 20 year old. I have acquired cleaning stuff that I don't get rid of cuz I might need it some day.
Moral of the story. Get rid of your junk you'll feel so much better. What have you been hoarding?

Re: Are we hoarders
Unnecessary tools! I see something on craigslist and I must have it. I have had them all.
The only cure for me is to stop checking craigslist and be happy with the stuff I have. I just can't turn down a good deal on a total piece of junk I will never use.

Re: Are we hoarders
I've said it before. I used to be a chemical hoarder. Got connected with Joe and the 55 gallon drum of versatile soil and oils. No more. I threw out two bottles today while clean the office today. I kept one fine fabric gallon of prochem that I'm sure I'll never use. For some reason I talked myself into saving. Crazy!

Re: Are we hoarders
I qualify for that Title. As far as Chem's I also have reduced the variety since switching to Joe's products.
I really need to purge and thin down. Maybe soon I'll post some stuff on the classified section.

Re: Are we hoarders
I have auto parts scattered everywhere for vehicles that I sold off decades ago. Just too much stuff everywhere.
I envy you Mo, the only time I really get all the clutter removed is when I've moved. I would love to take back my space, but I need time first...probably a winter project this year.

Re: Are we hoarders
Yes me too. I have a 3 car garage and can only squeeze 1 car in. Mine is tools, I have half of harbor freight in my garage. After I do a purge and clean up I feel so much better and never miss the stuff I threw away.
Re: Are we hoarders
That look great Ryan everything has its place. Doesn't that feel good.
Good thing you don't need that garage space in Tampa Mike.
Rob sell that stuff on Ebay

AND then SOME!!! LMAO After-all we are Hoarders right?!?
Bill can no long "Hoarder" it, so I've taken over responsibility of some of it.
Actually he made me a deal I couldn't refuse on this stuff!!......the blower, a TM frame, Kholer 25 hp eng, SS tank and he threw in this 175.
Basically, with not much more than a pump and some heat I could have a 2nd TM!!

Re: Are we hoarders
BTW the "45" i got is actually a Sutorbilt 4MP (Equal to a Roots 45), that's my next project, shoehorning it into my current TM, for more VACUUM!

Re: Are we hoarders
I have a rule. It's the 10 year rule.
Anything that has not been used in the last ten years off to the tip or gets donated.

Good rule to have George. The only things I keep longer are things I have an emotional attachment to. One is my motorcycle the other is a jewelry box I made in the 7th grade I cant get myself to throw that away.

I just get divorced every 10 years and let her take it all away.
Re: Are we hoarders
^ That IS A DAMN good idea!!!
But since I think I'm done being married, I'll have to do it myself I guess.
