Cute film!
There's so much STUFF I've had and miss, I miss:
My good fluke multimeter
A clarinet
A "measuring" receiver with loop antenna
A Watkins-Johnson surveillance receiver
Several nice ham radios bought new
Several nice ham radios bought used
Lots of tools
Nice tool box top and bottom
My old US Army cold/wet weather boots
Several nice oscilloscopes
Tools not the least of which a nice little drill press
Tons of little odds and ends I've shed that would be really handy right now
What's the Frugal Packrat's advice??? If you buy STUFF, keep it. Forever. I mean it, forever. Because then even it's 5 years later or 10, you've GOT it and you don't need to buy another one of the damned things whatever it is. I don't care if it's an old T-shirt with a goofy logo you don't like, in 20 years it will be a "classic" just save it all.
