For me, I sort of woke up one day and said 'I don't want ANY of this stuff anymore!' And now it's gone
Still can't believe you did all that Curt. Good on you. I don't have a lot of stuff, but have acquired some neat Porsche and aviation things over the years. I am methodically going through it and cleaning house. Parts, lit, parachutes, etc. My dad, on the other hand.... Wow, just can't get rid of anything and hates change. I recycled much of his "stored" and obsolete electronics recently and it was like I cut off his arm when I asked to toss this 20 year old computer tower and 25 lb. CRT. Don't throw that away, I might need it. When was the last time you used it? 20 years ago. Done.
