Do you have any plastic shoe boxes?

The ones with the semi clear box and the colored lid. I have......a bunch. I use them to store electronic parts. I think Costo has some on sale. I need a.....few more.

Those plastic boxes are great for storing parts, just protect static sensitive parts. I use a number of those boxes and lots of those drawer units to organize my parts. I buy them on sale also.

Everything I own in in them, right now. Moving sucks. I have umpteen plastic boxes, various sizes, with any amount of junk in them. I am thinking of tearing off the labels, and mixing them up, then carting half of them to the dump.. sort of possession russian roulette. I am fed up with owning half of my stuff anyway - most of it hasn't been used for years, so why keep it?

But, plastic shoe boxes are cool... maybe I should throw away my furniture, and make new out of the boxes....

Isnt life odd that way ? One spents their whole life collecting "things" , then it seems as they get my age (52) they start to feel like I do, I toss it, I wont use it anymore anyway . ... I started giving away stuff all ready that if I keep, will just put me in the position of doing stuff I dont want to do anymore. I give away my 4000 lb engine hoist to my stepson the other day, and once I get this room addition done, all the construction tools I have collected over the last thirty years will be going, so I wont have any tools to do any MORE projects, ha . Time to relax on the screened in porch, and forget about projects , 30 years of them is enuff,

When I retired (3 years ago), I moved from a 4 bedroom house which we lived in for 25 years, into a 2 bedrooom house at the lake. I had to have a storage building built, just to hold what we couldn't get rid of. It is amazing what we hold onto for some yet unknown reason. I'm slowly clearing out the storage building, now!

The only problem with getting rid of stuff, is that the stuff you haven't touched for years and finally dicide to let go, is exactly what you find a need for the very next week! Must be another one of Murphey's laws! -TD
