    Jouquers Anonymous Question

    Greetings Folks
    My first post here, so if this thread had already been started, then shame on me : ) Anyway I have a history of junking everything out. I have built a few things, but seems the jounque box is more important then almost anything : ) I am building a few things now too, but I want to know, just how on earth do you quit junking??? I did Elmer a gent a couple years back, and gave him a ton (almost literally) of goodies, but need a few more builders in my area, as I cannot seem to build the willpower to just throw : ) Let me know if there is a junkers anonymous around here...

    'Be wary of the groin area'. Wait, What?? Did Google translate mess that up?

    That is otherwise good advice around these parts

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    Welcome to the Island, Bill.

    I cured my junkbox addiction by moving onto a 30' sailboat. Not much room for junque there.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Started at the ripe age of 12 years gathering hunting for disbanded tv's radio's to part out to build my own stuff in varying bouts of failure and success.
    Dragged that stuff with me through 5 house moves, till last year my son and me decided it was time to say goodbye to most of it, still clinging on to some boxes in heavy withdrawal syndrome...

    Dumped 23 cubic meters of stuff away, most old stuff household things, old magazines nobody wanted to have including Sinclair ZX 80, COCO stuff etc.
    So, yes it seems i caan feel with you about the addiction of gathering and hunting for parts.

    That's the good news, the bad news is that thus far, he now has collected 7 junk 30' sailboats.

    I know you were joking but, believe it or not, there are a number of people here in this marina who have done exactly that. It seems that once you have a boat, people start offering you their old, unwanted boats—often for free.

    There is a nautical term for that, aqua-storage.
