Yup, today is the official start of the Spring Project Season. Everything that you didn’t finish before the snow buried it, is now thawed out and exposed to the ridicule of your buddies. Of course, they aren’t going to say much because their unfinished projects are out there too. Once the snow is gone, it’s “Yes, Dear” and out the door we go.

The Good Lord watches over me. Notice that the truck bed is the same height as the saw horse? Yup, I planned it that way (snicker). And I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

This is the time of year to organize,clean, toss what you don’t need, retrieve those treasures that Best Gal didn’t think you needed anymore, and so forth. I am (finally) clearing out some of my projects. Man, I had some really cool ideas for tech projects years ago. I even had subscriptions to those electronics/robotics magazines that showed you how to build stuff. Now I look at my idea and realize that there’s an App for that.

So…..out the door go some of my projects. I don’t just toss-no sir, I realize the world is full of people who love projects more than I do. My unwanted projects end up going one of the local online auction houses that have sprung up. Used to be that there might be a local auction house that would take consignments, but the market was pretty limited. Now, you put something up for sale in an online auction, and people are bidding from all over the region. I haven’t made any money yet-these auctions have some pretty useful stuff, if you know what I mean.

I’ve got to finish up now. Tomorrow I’ll show you some ideas for organizing your treasures.

Sawing straight for the Good and True,

Billy Acre
