You mean especially you.
Ha! I probably have gallons of hand sanitizer stashed around our house. In fairness, both my parents and my son had cancer and when they were undergoing treatment their immune systems were wiped out and they were vulnerable to infections so the house had to be very sanitary. I just never got out of the habit. I also have small bottles of hand sanitizer in the door pockets of our vehicles. I also have hundreds of packets of individual Purell wipes. During 2020 our friends in Atlanta couldn't find any Purell and I was able to personally supply them with enough to get them through the first couple of months until supplies were again available for them. So, I hear you, Kitaman, and raise you one gallon.

In the lab, not at home, we have a collection of boxes for the equipment that I saved just in case I need to ship it back for repair. Used 2 of 20(?) over the past 10 years.
Gave most of my dress cloths to the VA in Rocky Hill I think many of them may be under ground by now. Thank you for your serviceMusical stuff crammed into my small condo:

- Now that I'm retired, I don't really need the 18 suits, blazers, jackets anymore.
When I recycle computer hardware, I always take the hard drive out, with the intention of doing a DOD scrub of it. As you can guess, they’re all over the house now. I was building computers for family members 25-30 years ago, and still have a boatload of hardware.

You need to gift your Mom a nice weekend away so you can go rescue those baseball cards before someone throws them out like the guy in Scotland with his hard drive full of Bitcoin.
In case you weren't aware, if it is cast iron and you can get by the sentimental reasons to keep it, a sledgehammer will easily transform it into much more manageable and transportable pieces.

Old memory cards, back when 8 MB was a large memory card, had some valuable amount of gold in the contacts.... when gold was cheap.
Now wait a second, the thread is about EXCESS stuff. Not a music gearhead but did cross a few mountain ranges back in the day. As such 4 tents, 2 bivy sacks, 3 sleeping bags, 3 backpacks, and every imaginable little piece of equipment one could carry, in triplicate, is not excess; they were vital accessories to the hobby. And since injury and age now prevent that activity, reliving it through drawing pictures means every conceivable pencil and a dozen types of paper is likewise vital.Musical stuff crammed into my small condo:
