Time spent in the shop is not subtracted from your time on earth, Right?

At age 80, I pay no attention.

Maybe. But not if the shop time is used for nothing but cleaning and neatening and sorting odd mismatched hardware items.

#7Speaking of mismatched hardware items....

I have lots of little cabinets with drawers and some bigger ones and some I could stand up in for storing extras and spares and leftovers. Eventually I got tired of sorting and labeling and finding a new place for the new stuff and I developed the habit of "storing it at Lowe's or Home Depot". Both stores are nearby and I go often, so when I have left overs I just take them back and let them figure out where to put them. Next time I need a few, I just buy them again.
I was telling a young friend (middle twenties) this and he said, "I'm a millennial, I just throw that stuff away."
Not sure who is right, buy I could heart my grand parents spinning in their graves when he said it.

I decided to clean up 20+ years of hardware hoarding back when the pandemic started and when going to Harbor Freight was a desperation move. I bought several of their nice big multi-compartment hardware bins and started sorting. Then I went back and bought more. Then I went back and bought more. There are probably at least seven of them in the shop now mostly full and all of my motivation has leaked away while I seem to be no more than 2/3 of the way through the task. That estimate is made based on not going into the 'storage room' off the library downstairs to see if there are more hidden items stashed.
Probably I really should just give up now and take all of the remainder to the recycling center and dump it into the metal bin and call it good.
Oh, if there is anybody here who still turns pens and pencils, I will consider donating a bunch of supplies to them -- PM if you are interested. I've lost any instructions I might have had so you will need to know your way around the bits and bobs to make use of them. Anything to save trying to sort that stuff out!

I do "shop Yoga". If Yoga is good for you the only yoga I might do is in the shop. The activity is good for you and so is the mental exercise. Moving lumber around is the same as lifting weights.
When I run, there is usually a lawn mower in front of me.

At age 80 I bought a Scott's push type reel mower and the neighbors thought I was crazy (they still do for other reasons) Now I'm pushing 89 and the mower still is used only by me. Of course we only have about 2000 sq ft of lawn with many flower beds in the way to use anything wilder. I still manage to get to the shop for half of every day. Just completed a 6 ft long kitchen table for a neighbor last week.
