I know the feeling! My wife and I are putting our house up on the
market, so that we can move back to the country and purchase this
beautiful 1910 farmhouse her father currently owns. In the process of
moving my shop (a total nightmare, by the way), I've discovered
planes, chisels and saws I completely forget that I owned.  Once I see
'em, I remember buying 'em, but I wouldn't have remembered I have them
if you had asked.  A troubling situation, as its taking me several
times longer to pack up than it should.

And don't even ask about moving my lumber pile. I've had nightmares
about that...
