At times, I will get down in the shop and spend some time arranging and
organizing.  I'll get it all nice and neat.  Then is where the problem
arises.  I go and buy something else and now I don't have a place to put
the new one.  If I never bought anything else, I'd be just fine, but, we
all know that ain't gonna happen.  Like Bill Cosby said, "You get a new and
bigger house so you have room for all your stuff, then you get more stuff
until you need a bigger house."  And the cycle hours on and on.  Shops and
tools are the same way.  "You never really have enough."
