For not having much planned, you got a lot done SIX!
I spent a fair bit of the day pecking away at the stuff in the junk room/ office. I got 9 medium -sized boxes packed up, a couple of rugs to roll up, and another sweep thru closets and cabinets and desks and all those little hidey- holes where people leave things to be forgotten. Fortunately I scheduled a pickup for the 30th so I ca do a real.giid decluttering.
By then I expect another few boxes to give away, a trash can or two, and some recycling. I have one bucket for metal (steel, pot metal) recycling and another for brass/ bronze 'cause dear daughter is all about recycling!
I hear you about not knowing where stuff is!

I think for me you'd have to go to musicians that I loved over the years to feel the same way. I remember not too long back we lost Tom Petty and Chris Cornell within a year of each other. That wasn't great. Just seeing how grey the guys I kind of idolized growing up when they are still around is sad too. Did you see any commercials for the new and supposedly final Jackass movie? My god man. Johnny Noxville is full on grey. Steve O looks like he's had more plastic surgery than Joan Rivers ever did.
Stop getting older. I'm trying real hard.

I remember Tom Petty going and yeah that was bad. Radio station I listen to from Washington state plays "Won't Back Down"
Know about the Jackass movies but not sure if I've seen an ad for this last one. Not my thing.

You've been plugging away yourself. Good for you.
Yeah.. It's bad enough I can't find stuff to start a job, but when things are that messy you just put things down and then you can't find them in the mess. Got a lot of work to do in that room in the basement to get things organized, and out in the garage as well. I've got to remember to bring one of my shop vacs back in the house. I have a tiny hand-held one in here, but I've got my mid-size, large and super-large one all out in the garage at the same time. I cleaned all of my vacs and shop vacs maybe 2 springs ago and never brought anything back in when I was done. Got a lot of sawdust to clean up down there, and it will be good just to vac up that entire room as I organize things.
Got a few more things thrown away and found a few nice finds in the clothes. I forgot my friend gave me some brand new long thermal undershirts and some hats and other stuff late last winter, and for some reason my dad gave me a few bags of new socks. One of the big bags was two comforters I got from my friend. I just found 4 zip up bags meant to be put under a bed, so I think I know where those are going.
I think half of the bags left to go through are suits and coats of varying quality and condition. I took everything he was getting rid of just to help him get rid of his own hoard, so I'm sure half of that can go immediately. Probably into the trash.
Forgot I still had a lot of bags in there from the free after rebate stuff at the hardware store. I'll have to sort through that and see what I've got and what I'll give away.
I think if I do anything else tonight I'll clean the bathroom since I still haven't gotten to that while doing all this other stuff.
All my laundry is done and everything is put away. Honestly, I don't even know the last time I can say that was the case.

I didn't think that Jackass would be your thing, but I've got a picture in my mind of what Johnny Knoxville looks like and it is from about the year 2002. When I saw him the other day in the trailer for this new one, my jaw dropped. It's the first time they said it's the last movie they're going to do that I believe them.
Yeah... Petty was the man. We got a channel called XRT in Chicago that plays a great rotation. They'll have one or two of the new songs every hour, but they also play a lot of great rock from the 60's through today, so you never know what you're going to get every hour. I bet every day they play at least 2 Petty songs and probably about 15 of them in the rotation. It's such a cool station.

Change of plans...
Haven't touched the bathroom yet, but I did a lot of cleanup in the small bedroom. I found 8 lint rollers with those peel away sticky pads on them just earlier today, and after I got all the clothes off of it along with some other stuff, I rubbed down the futon real good with one of those and it looks brand new. Had my awesome little Shark stick vacuum and it gets almost anywhere with the crazy angles it does. I had my old livingroom coffee table up there too. I had replaced that when I got my Grams' table.
So while I was cleaning I did a little fung shui and moved things around so now the coffee table is in front of the futon at a different angle that makes sense. I've decided that's going to be my "tech" room for the dehoard. Whenever I want to go through old tech, I'll have a monitor on that coffee table I can plug everything into and go through the stack at my leisure once I get all the other crap dehoarded and out of there, and I get all that stuff down from the attic. That way none of this is in my main living area and the spot where people would first see it when they walked in. If I get messy with it, I can always just shut that door until I get it all cleaned up.
Still might do a little of the bathroom tonight, but probably going to save most of that for tomorrow before my old man stops by and I'll shower up. Got some things to do after he's gone too.

Yeah, you still a lot of celebs getting botox and things and now it is the men more than the women. I heard it's suppose to be the last Jackass movie and you are right not my thing.
Petty was good for sure. This station I listen to do has a good play list until they hit idiots redoing songs that were good in the first place and they trash them. "I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney has been redone and they love playing that one and it has been trashed. The idiot has sped up the tempo and it throws the whole song off. But they do play some good Beatles stuff. Course you can pretty well always get "Sweet Home Alabama" and some stuff from Miami Vice too.

Out in a bit. Temp is starting to climb up but a fair amount of clouds around. Small things to do today.

Everything done for today and one of these days I have to trim my hair. It is at the point where I can sit on it.

Wow.. That's some long hair, Brenda.
Me and the old man just gave each other haircuts a few hours ago.
Got my errands for the day done and I'm done. Was up until almost 5AM working and cleaning last night. Not doing anything for the rest of the day.

Man...
I really wish the PM function worked here. Though I'm sure some of them wouldn't suit either of your personal tastes, but I've got a pretty wide range of videos I've created over the last few years. Not a ton, but what there is is pretty varied. Almost all comedy and satire, or at least what I feel are funny attempts at them, anyhow.
I made a few the other day, which is one more than I usually make in 3 months since I only do it when the inspiration hits. Half the time it's when I'm talking with my old man about something going on in the world and inspiration suddenly hits.
And only 2 days later, I'm making another one. 3 in as many days if I finish it before I go to sleep. It's the one I had planned on spending all day and night yesterday on until I remembered my dad was coming over today and I had way better things to be doing with my time.
Now THIS is fun. What I'm doing isn't nothing that AI couldn't replace soon, with all the soul of a hunk of metal and wires, so I know there's zero money in it like most of the things I'm interested in. But on the off chance I ever put out anything that goes viral, I don't care for the idea of me being able to be tracked back to Ted Bundy and Shit Golem.
I'm going to be up all night working on this thing. And it's not even going to feel like work.
