On Hoarding & Knick Knacks

In the past ive had various sized dwellings before
moving to this little community.
Back in the day while camping in the forest,I had
a small duffle bag full of things that i happily
dubbed my Possibles Bag because every 49'er
had one.

First it started with the small duffle then a full size 
duffle to a storage unit then a garage unit.
Then to a car,then a van to a storage unit to a cab
over camper to a cabin then to a house then back to 
a cabin.

Theres 40 years of hoarding in a nutshell....LOL

As it was Saturday,Ive been without a cigarette
for 6 days and not dealing with it so lightly.
I had 7 cups of coffee and was really perked to say 
the least so i embarked on a thinning crusade.

Being all perky i started going thru boxes and the
first was a computer box in the corner then morphed
into the other back corner realizing i am hoarding
again...

The front corner had to be dealt with and hung a 
metal folding chair outside to get it out of the way.
I was tossing things in the junk pile that i traditionally
cart off to the dump come spring thaw.

Finally the shelves on the front corner by the ladder
because i haven't touched them in 25 plus years.
I am laughing because it was hideous and I mean
it was really bad....Ive been living in the cabin 
since 2012 and i never though to even look at it.

2 cans of Escargot,snails......1 gallon can of halved
peaches only it was empty with some petrified
fruit clanging around inside and the juice had run
down the wall long ago...

Lots of computer related items such as Hard
drive enclosures that go to some cases i seem to 
have parted with centuries ago and 4 case fans
which to my surprise i really need for my next
computer build,

A Retro Offline Gaming PC..No Internet Needed
I have all the components and it will go into
the loft to that computer center so i can game
an hour or two before bed.

Unreal Tournament 3 & IL2 Sturmovik 1946
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

I had to search high and low for all the parts
and get them all together in one place as I am
a scatter brained person with Manic Episodes
that can lead me to scatter things around.

Today I have the bottom front corner to 
sort out as there is a Big 6X coat in there that
i cannot wear and am giving to my friend Scott
who is the biggest teddy bear of all time and 
has said that he will take it.

Its a windproof winter coat from the Chicago
Area from an old friend who passed 12 years ago.
It is a winter coat but not by Alaskan standards.
Scott is a close friend who doesn't throw anything
away and has a hoarding streak miles longer
than mine....Birds of a feather flock together.

I am making use of my time not smoking by
decluttering,organizing and sorting and oh
the knick knacks,i mean i have boxes with
little things that I cant just toss but ended up
going outside anyway...LOL

Thank the Gods of Olde for C O F F E E 

Peace, BigT
