I am NOT a pack rat!

[Tom Dunlap]

There is an apocryphal story of a family going through Grampa’s estate and finding a box labeled ‘String too short to throw out’. It gets trotted out when people see collections of stray bits and bobs in a shop...like mine!

My fan belt started to squeal last week when our overnight temps went below zero F. My go-to solution is to spray on some aerosol belt treatment. The spray came out as a mist like for spray paint and I need a pin point stream. Not a problem. I find the parts drawer with nozzles and tip tubes. The second one I tried gave me a nice pin point spray. Don’t call me a pack rat, that’s a very derogatory title. Scrounge or recycler is a nicer

Does a fan of Poulan 25’s recognize the white washers there?

My threshold for ratpackery for me is if I have to turn sideways and suck in my gut to get through a storage/communal living/work space. F*ck a bunch of that. If things are organized, and contained and I can navigate while I practice my pirouettes..then I'm all on board.
