Not just today but I am on a mission to throw away accumulated "junk".
A friend left me all his stuff when he died, his hand tools filled the floor of a good sized garage, I had duplicates of most of the stuff so I invited all the friends we shared in common over to take their pick and got rid of most of the stuff.
He gave me all his tubs of nick knacks as well, trophies, leather and a lot of the stuff we store "just in case". I consigned all these tubs to the attic of my shop. Over the years I go by them every now and a look for anything I can use but have drawn a blank lately.
Time to consign this stuff to the trash and clean up my attic, every time the trash has run in the last few weeks I have filled most of the can with junk, either from the basement or the attic of my house.
This past week I filled 3/4 of a large residential garage can with strings of Christmas lights, it seemed like miles of them, they weighed about 40# total, that's a lot of lights. I know my late wife couldn't resist them when they went on sale for pennies on the dollar after Christmas but never used them. They had been in the attic for at least 15 years.
All of this stuff we think we need seldom gets removed from storage and used, what goes in the attic stays in the attic, forever.
