Last week was clean out my storage unit time.
Have had stuff stored in there for years since I got rid of my house that I hadn’t touched, thought about or looked at since and last week I sorted thru stuff and started getting rid of it.

Some got dumpster filed; some went to goodwill; some went to used book stores; some given away and some got burned. Oh, and yeah some I kept and several items I’m not sure about yet.
One item I need to get rid of is a never used combination fold up couch/bed that I removed from my travel trailer 12 years ago that could easily be mounted in a van, etc.

Lotsa room now in that unit. Prolly got rid of 80% of what was in there.

I put a piece of masking tape with the date marked on it on the boxes things are stored in when I open them. If I haven’t opened them in a couple of years they go straight to the trash. Life is getting shorter so maybe I’ll start throwing things away every year! Lol!!!
 
I’ve several firearms & a bunch of ammo I’m thinking about selling, too; or maybe I should keep them? Haven’t decided yet but I don’t hunt or shoot much anymore like I did when younger and while I’m keeping some, I’ll probably sell these:IMG_1498.jpeg
Original Colt AR SP1

Some other odds & ends I no longer use or need.

Yes it is different now we have doctors and nurses checking us and giving the shots, no more lining up checking the guy in front of you or air gun shots! They say as you get old memory is one of the first things to go! Lol!!!

Look what the ole man found! Taking my 4 mile walk a couple days back here’s this old sewing machine case out by the road with a “FREE” sign on it.

I looked it over and said, Damn, wish I found this a year ago when I was doing the van build. Could’ve incorporated it somewhere somehow.

Lamentations of Life.

Anyway, I’m thinking I can use those table wings & hinges for a couple folding counters/table I’ve been pondering on so when jonny boi got back to Kamp he fires up the van and retrieves the new found treasure.

Don’t know what I’ll do with the rest of it but lay an old board on top and it’ll be good for something.

Very cool find, John.

And I envy you your new and improved diet.

I gave up breakfast a couple of years ago, and lost 20lbs over the course of a year or so.

I try not to eat before 10am, then my first meal may be breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner, depending on how I feel on any given day.

And because there’s just me, I don’t always feel like cooking, so do the best I can and to balance out my day if not any particular meal.
