Need to stop buying gear I don't need

[Alan]

My garage is full of stuff I used once or never even opened. Every time there's a sale I convince myself I need it. This ends now. Well, probably not, but I'll try. What bad habit do you keep repeating that you want to break?

I resemble that remark. But it's all gun stuff. And I may use some of all of it (reloading components etc.) at some points. And it doesn't spoil or expire. So at least there's that.

Just having that discussion with a buddy this past weekend. Buying items on sale and giving them to friends and family that probably didn't need them either

I just cleaned up my shop, with lots of help from my SIL, great grandson, and my wife. Of course I found some unused stuff, but mostly it was redundant stuff or stuff that I will never use again. At any rate, I won’t be buying any more shop stuff ! My youngest son was the recipient of a nice set of Craftsman hand tools, from back when the name meant quality, so not all was for naught. Having a shop, plus two trucks meant I had tools in all, so I won’t miss them especially at my age. I purged some guns a few years ago, but I’m weak when it comes to single action revolvers.

Not practicing enough…no excuse I hav 100 & 200 yard range at the house and seem to never find or make time to practice. I even bought a shot marker system they I haven’t even built a frame for yet. I have been spending so much time on my old 66 mustang to get it back on the road. Getting close even a few test drives and hade the front end alignment done. Next is a gear change from 1/8 mile drag strip to a drivable road/freeway set up.

Yeah, I resemble that remark. I can only shoot 125 yards from where my bench is, but I shoot handguns more than rifles anyway. Load development is behind in .357, .44 mag, .45 Colt, and my soon to be picked up .44 Special. Most of these will shoot various cast bullets, which I mostly have, so my excuse is……it’s too cold to be comfortable outside !
