I took a walk through Goodwill this evening, and managed to keep my 'sobriety', despite seeing a couple of moderately interesting machines. The easiest to walk away from was a Kirby Gsix with its tool kit for $40. It was in decent shape, but I've got four of them, so there was simply no way, rational or otherwise, to justify another one. I've simply reached a saturation point on that particular model, and it was offering me absolutely nothing I didn't already have.
Of greater interest was a Regina floor scrubber, almost identical to one we had when I was a kid. I remember being fascinated by the thing, primarily because we never used it. We finally sold it at a yard sale. I seriously considered it--for about a minute and a half--but even at a relatively modest $15, I just couldn't justify it for how much I wouldn't be using it.
As much as I relish the thrill of acquisition, I am also enjoying my newfound ability to walk away from stuff I don't need. It's quite liberating.
