Fortunately, I've found that this alon satisfies those deeper cravings for more, and I can walk away without hitting the order button. <br /><br />These days, I (almost always) limit myself to buying kits and aftermarket goodies that I plan to use on the immediate next build or one in progress. I admit that I sometimes have lapses, and I know there are specific holes in the collection (which I now call it, rather than stash) that I will fill when I see an item become available. But, for the most part, I've been able to tone down the stash-creep consderably in these last few years.

Need to thin the herd though!Dave Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561571466019177128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520119424128090023.post-21033314194508982872013-09-29T11:54:41.731-07:002013-09-29T11:54:41.731-07:00Thanks for sharing your story bud.

I'm glad you made changes in your life and sound like you're happier for it.

Your post has inspired me to cut down my collection even further. Great post Jim, and glad things are turning around for you.
