What Possessed Me to Do This?

We are working on "de-cluttering" our home to list it for sale in April, need to have my "man cave" painted first.  To prepare for the painters' arrival, am boxing up my audio system, moving the components to a "climate controlled" storage unit.  I got the lighter stuff boxed up without assistance.  My son helped me place my 110# power amp on the carpeted floor, flip it over to bolt it to the plywood for the base of the inner carton, eventually getting it boxed and double-boxed, taped up and ready to go.  One of my son's friends is coming over for dinner, to help box up a pair of 122# speakers and a pair of 133# sub woofers.

What possessed me to get equipment that weighs so much?

@ejr1953 ....*G*  I'm on the 'wrong side of the tracks' from the Biltmore House....*L*  Long story....
'Bout time the daughter gets to put y'all up and 'put up' with you. *L*
Empty the fridge....(put it into coolers)  and go  "But, we were hungry!  Such a long drive, all that energy....what's on TV?  Anything to drink 'round here?..."
She might recognize something about that....;) *L*

@bob540, I own a Bobcat....;)...with attachments...  Not easy to drive inside a house, but I can put things through windows....

And as for cars.....Small can be not only quick, but nimble...and make just as glorious a noise.

Turn up the volume and enjoy. *S*

...been enjoying "Formula One: Drive to Survive" on Netflix....*S*  Been an F1 fan since high school....('69 was The Year to graduate).

Spouse and I used to ride motorcycles back in S.F. in the '80s'; best way to get around, and a snap to park....*G*

bob540,
Good ideas.  In my case, after upgrading this, changing that, for a few years, I have components that have a great "synergy".  I love the way my system sounds on all the types of music I enjoy!
Yes, I am "60-something".

bob540,
...and yes, I have a car from a company headquartered in Munich, with a six cylinder engine, with twin turbos...though I mostly drive it in "eco mode".

In short, BMW....perhaps an Audi, but I don’t follow vehicle 'details' all that  much.....*G*

So....when do you go ’non-eco’? ;)
