Collections

[snubbyfan]

Why do we feel compelled to collect stuff?

Whenever I get an interest, the collecting starts.
I get into wood working, now I have a collection of hammers, routers, saws, ect...
Climbing? Bunches of climbing gear. Harnesses, shoes, ropes, slings, anchors, etc...
I have a large closet full of various backpacks, tents, bivy bags, camp stoves, water filters and bunches of other camping gear.
I'd have a huge collection of guns if I could afford them.

Now it's cigars.
Got a coupla humidors filled with sticks.


All I really need is one cutter and one ligher right?
Course not! Now I have a cigar box that seems to be accumulating them and I'm eyeballin' more of each.


Ordnanceguy posted a thread on a S&W Zippo.

Now I'm searching eBay and looking at different design Zippo's to collect.
I have two already and converted them to butane for lighting cigars. One with a soft flame and the other with a double torch flame.



Oh well, I guess it's better than just sitting and collecting dust.

How else are we going to get on "Hoarders"?

I'm collecting gray hairs about the same rate I'm losing the rest.

I buy guns so I have an excuse for my safe collection.

Why didn't I know about these conversion kits when I was still a smoker?

Oh, well. Probably just as well.

When it said "Collections", I thought you did some West Virginia Voodoo on some bill collector. You know, like add him to your shrunken head collection!

Started woodworking several years back. I now have several hundred board ft of hickory, mahogany and oak. The problem is I have no room to build more furniture.

It's a good thing I don't have a larger house, garage and barn....

Back in my cigarette smoking days a disposable Bic style lighter was all I used.
I quit smoking cigarettes about 18 years ago but still smoke an occasional cigar.
However, a disposable Bic style lighter's not good enough for lighting cigars.
Gotta have something with "style" with a cutter to match.

I like to collect $100 bills.

But then a gun or a piece of jewelry........
I'm too weak

If you sold all that other stuff then you could probably get a few more pistols. Preferably S&W but your choice.

I know, I wonder how much I can get for my climbing gear:


And that's just part of it.

I've got a long neglected eBay and PayPal account. I might start posting some stuff. Cut the clutter.

It's a sickness and I've got it too. Have several collections that I never
use. I should get a ebay account too. Is it easy to do?
