Ya know, I started reading this thread at the start but quit as I don't sit around and worry about this and that reference the general point of this thread. I have more guns and guitars, tools also that I really need, but don't worry about what's going to happen to them after the Lord decides its time. I do have several firearms that have been with me for a long time, several that were my Dad's, several that were with me during my time as a LEO, black powder firearms that Gampa is building. My kids and wife know what ones they are and will distribute them when needed. Same way with my guitars, have one granddaughter that is playing, maybe a few more later, but they can have what they want and sell any they want. Tools, well kids and grandkids can figure it out.
When my Dad and mother in-law passed, both respective funeral homes hounded the H outa the wife and I, wanting to set up prefuneral's so to speak. Told them I was interested in living, not worrying about dying and planning this and that. There is adequate funds to take care of any situations when it comes down the pike. Same goes for cemetery plots and headstones. My parents bought plots in the local resting place years ago for pennies on the dollar for myself and siblings, advised us we could keep em or sell em depending how life's journey took us. I pay no attention to the grassy area of mine. Who knows, may never need it (that's another story). Had a headstone outfit sending and calling once upon a time after a brother-in-law passed and they became aware I had a grassy knoll in the local cemetery. All kinds of offers for and reasons why I should buy a headstone and have it on that grassy knoll. Hounded us with letters, phone calls, and even a visit one day.
There are guys who come to the local coffee shop I attend on occasion that have plots and headstones all bought. Every once in a while, they get talking about their future place of rest like they can't wait to get there. I've even seen a few of them standing at their spot on Memeorial Day, staring down at their future abode. That's nuts, asked one of them one time if he and his wife place flowers on their site. Said (typed) all of this to say this, I'm interested in living, not going to worry about what happens to physical things I've accumulated in this world, I'm more interested in another place. Not going to fret daily or be involved in forum threads that IMO are a waste of time and breath thinking/talking about accumulated possessions. Who knows, I may sell some of this and that when I get tired of having to many around, turn the cash into gold and sit and stare at it. While I haven't read many posts here since page 1, this is my thoughts about it, see its turned into a 9 page thesis. (and I did get involved by posting this post, but all I'm saying about it). Have a good day everyone. CC
Seriuosly, though - this is something we all have to think about. Personally, I am just thinning the herd and ensuring what I have left is quality and that I love them. Also, I have a list of guns with serial #'s, or descriptions, appropriate charges and shooting boxes for each to make things easier on the remaining items. My sons enjoy BP some and I will leave the good ones, mostly originals for them.
