Day 120 G's Old Catalogs

Wow! Catalogs from 2003! Starrett, Reid Tool Supply, and 80/20 ("The Industrial Erector Set")...all good things. I still like paper catalogs as opposed to PDF in a lot of cases, but not these. Not to mention, they are free if I need a fresh one and I don't buy a whole lot of industrial supplies for my house. Oh, and the bonus book is a C programming book -- I have no idea how that entered my life. They were still pushing Fortran in college.

These babies are outdated.

DESTINATION: Recycling bin.

about us

Kara is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Glamour, Marie Claire, Penthouse, J-14, Twist, Girls Life, HGTV.com, and on the front pages of Yahoo, MSN, AOL and more. She's also a portrait photographer and mom to two awesome boys. Her favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip.

George is a mechanical engineer who's developed everything from designer chairs to space shuttle parts. (I think that's right. Kara is writing this while George is asleep.) He loves home renovations, cars, and UFC. He is the father to the same two awesome boys. He sometimes dumps Tabasco in a can of garbanzo beans and calls it lunch.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
