A hand cranked razorblade sharpener....

I haven't shaved in over 30 years.

'course I never used a single edged razor when I did....

The only thing that is valuable to me is an old Winchester model 68 single shot bolt action 22 rifle with peep sights that I grew up with. It belonged to my Dad and has a lot of memories attached. Other things lost in a divorce many years ago have been long gone.

Wow. I was just reading along...and then...that was deep.

This is yet another reason I spend so much time here. I am with people who understand me.
I never throw anything away.Hey, I might need that someday! I still have our first cell phone. It's a "brick" phone, about 8" high with an antenna that sticks up several more. Got it 20 years ago this coming Christmas.
Still have all my old vinyl records and 8-Track tapes. I still have an 8-track player that works really well, so I can still listen to them.
I have, in a (large) box in the attic, every note I ever got from girls in Jr. High, High School and beyond. Missus P&R Fan knows about it, and I've told her she can read 'em if she wants to. She passed.
When I take the Dirt Nap, my kids and Wife are gonna have a heck of a time going through my stuff. I hope they realize what's valuable and what's not. But as a previous poster said, who cares, I'll be dead, and I hear it's pretty good up there in Heaven.

I dont know how to sell anything. I hate to throw out stuff. I was raised that way, I had to hold a auction just before my dad went to the convalesent hospital was the worst time of my life. Stuff they saved and treasured forever I couldnt keep as I lived over 2,000 miles away. It all went for next to nothing. My wife has no compunction about giveing stuff away or just throwing it out. I have a thousand books I probley wont read, a dozzen boots I cant wear or bare to get rid of, a couple dozzen hats and caps I seldom wear. Through the years I gained and lost weight so many times I am afraid to throw out cloths that dont fit.
We have one car and two nice old trucks. We dont really need two trucks but I will be darned if I will sell a perfectly nice old truck (2001 silverado) for a couple thousand and pay a fortune for another to replace it later. You get right down to it, I have a fortune in guns I probley wont ever use. Of course, I have several I do use and carry, but apart from that. I often thought it would be fun to pick up every item I own and ask myself would I buy it again? And were it possible to have the money I paid for it, (inflation adjusted) sell it for that? I have a hunch my house and garage would almost be empty and bare, yet we would have everything we need AND MONEY TO GO DO THE THINGS I DREAMED I ALWAYS WANTED TO IN RETIREMENT!

A client of mine asked me what souvenier I'd like from China. He brought back a piece of stone that he claims is from the Great Wall. I'm not even sure it's authentic but I hang on to it anyway. At least it says MADE in CHINA.
