The satisfaction of using old misc hardware

Just did a small home project yesterday that required 4 small screws with a large enough head to cover the hole in the parts being held together.

In my trusty can of old nuts, bolts, and screws I found 3 recently interned ones that were exactly right. Had to search for the elusive

4th one but found it - a nice one with well worn red paint on it that I took off of a 64 Chevy 1/2 ton I scraped out 30 years ago. It's a sweet feeling to finally make good use of a nice old piece of hardware like that and it brought back some good memories.

I wonder if I get too attached to little things....

Zero investment......wow what a return on your dividend.

stay attached.....

nothing wrong with being "thrifty"........ and like you said, every once in a while grabbing a little something from the "might needed it one day" bin.....can bring back some fond memories.
