It’s what we do. At present time I have started 7 projects. Two or more may be duplicates. Beats day time TV.

I’ve been spending quality time with my “Junk” for years.

I wonder what is behind the shelf, ie the garage must be deeper?

Every so often, my wife has a go at me for having too much stuff and I need to clear some of it out. I dutifully do that, but you can practically guarantee that the things I’ve just got rid of will be needed a couple of days later. Has happened to me soooooo often.

At least he’s hanging out with his junk rather than his junk hanging out

In my younger days, half of that stuff would have been in the attic and the other half would have been in the basement. God, do I feel old.

Garage sale rejects.
