Thanks aja!I think he was planning a trip overseas somewhere.
The sorting out of the stuff that I accumulated over the years plus saved from my failed business takes a lot of time, and I really meant to finish the job this time. Part of the motivation comes from having to work with my siblings to clean up our mom's home, which she has not been able to maintain properly. After working on her home, I went home and realized the neglect that has been going at my own home too.
Well, I have not tossed out much. The reason it takes me so long is that I sort things out and classify them. Small ICs and components go into bin organizers, and bigger stuff go into Sterilite 6-quart shoe box containers. And they have to be labeled so that I can find them later. A lot of head scratching goes into to how to classify and group each individual gizmo.
With money like that, I can afford to throw everything out and buy new if I need something. But my frugal nature does not allow me to throw away these new unused miscellaneous electronic components.

And about counting money, I just made a detailed accounting of my trades, to see that I have made $47,683 from option premium in Jan-Feb. That's about the average running rate for me the last 4 years.

And of course it takes time to get them through the mail too. I am looking to get back to building some "stuff" as a hobby, and need to have an assortment of electronic components handy.
