Clearing some stuff out is going to take time

Dad had a tendency to buy extras of stuff like screwdrivers and pliers and such; knowing how they wear out or get damaged or lost(especially the small ones), he'd find a set on sale and put them away.  So there are multiples of a lot of stuff to put together for later action.  Throw in the shop being a sheet-metal building and getting pretty hot, a lot of stuff there is going to have to wait until cooler weather.  Some of it may need extra hands as well.

So many reminders.  And the cat, who at times looks at me like "Why are you in that chair and not him?"  

It'll get done.

My dad passed away this year. I've been going through his stuff in the building and barn. Keep getting surprised into grief by running across some little thing from my childhood in a box of junk, a die-cast toy car, a bottle of modeling paint. Some little token that brings the past to life again.
