So I'm headed back north today from a weekend of watching my grandson's Little League Tournament in CT and as I crossed back into Mass I figured I'd stop at Woodcrafters in Springfield to see if they had any plastic hardware bins.

 

'No. but you might try Harbor Freight in the next Mall down'

 

Nothing I was looking for.

 

Bottom line: I went to Woodcrafter and Harbor Freight AND bought nothing, AND I was totally unsupervised.

 

I must be getting old

Maybe you should schedule a doctor’s appointment 

One of my favorite things about retiring is that I no longer get distracted by product emails and hardware stores or web ads.  I've had a chance finally to take inventory of all my belongings and i apparently already have everything. More stuff than I can remember having bought anyway. More stuff than I need or use.  There was a time though that I could get suckered in by the $1-$5 bins of clever crap you could find in the aisles of many hardware stores.  I've never cut a piece of glass, but some gene I must have always makes me buy a glass cutter if I find one in a discount bin.  I have a few each of the latest greatest parallel and sure-foot bar clamps that came out over the last few decades.  Yet I've had no need for more than the cheap pipe clamps I put together 45 years ago.  I've got clamps that have never seen a drip of glue. Sad, I know.

Nope, you're just a woodworker, I suspect a lot of us have similar tales.
