That's just garbage. A true hoarder (properly termed "collector") only accumulates "stuff" that WILL have a use - one day. ;)

That reminds me. My teenage daughters are home all day today - no school. I should probably leave now.

I have a large collection of shackles without pins, and pins without shackles, collected from the bows of many, many race boats. Whenever something blew up during a race, I would catch whatever pieces didnt go overboard. Over the years I amassed a random collection. Still hoping for the day I can match a pin with shackle....
