Mike and I have trouble throwing things out. Unfortunately, when you can't throw things out, they start to accumulate. So, I end up tossing these things in boxes. And, the boxes end up out going into our unfinished addition (rec room). (The reason it is unfinished is because it became the final resting place for a lot of useless shit.) Anyway, I decided last week that every Sunday, I am going to go through one box. I will either throw things in the trash, give them to Goodwill, or, if I keep it, find a place for it. As I am going through these boxes, I am wondering to myself, "Why did I even keep this!?" At the time, I must have seen some future use for some of this stuff. But, it's been now sitting around for months, years? And, I haven't even looked at it again. So, about 90% of the junk in the boxes is now in the trash. Next week, another box. So, hopefully, I will whittle down the pile in there, so the addition can be finished.

Schweet.
