Umm, do I have to admit to all my collecting (accumulating?) habits?
I currently have 11 ready to ride bikes that fit me, 2 for my GF, 3 C&V in various stages of build, and a touring bike I am building for my GF. The 11 are mix of modern (yes even CF road and full suspension MtB) and C&V.
Then there is the "other" stuff.
Knives I've dabbled in for years, to the point where I have around 30. Mostly traditional, some old, some new, some production, some custom, some fixed blade, some folders.
Guns too, 20 of 'em. Side-by-side shot guns from 1893 to 1920; long guns-single shots, lever, and bolt; single action revolvers and mostly German semi-autos.
Fishing tackle. Who knows how many rod and reels, over 50 of each at last count. Mostly saltwater, with a bit of trout and salmon gear.
Books. Loads of bird books, books on Baja California, travel books, Hemingway, biographies, US regional history and narratives...........
Optics, multiple binoculars and spotting scopes. Boats-5 1/4, that's 3 real boats, 2 kayaks, and a partnership. Decoys, art, I guess there is very little moderation.
I like "stuff" and I like to use my "stuff". There are not enough weekends!
