TriGirl 268 #79 January 7, 2014 airtwardo I have hundreds of airshow posters from places I performed at, always thought 'someday' I'll get them framed and hung as a memento...Hell I could wallpaper a hangar with 'em. What does your DZ have for a bar? Might be good to frame & donate to that cause. Quote Skydiving tee-shirts...I have 5 or 6 large plastic bins packed with new never worn 'keepsakes' from boogies & DZ's all over. I second the idea of making them into quilts. You can enjoy them much more often, and they take up less space. Quote Still have every parachute I ever owned... Also an idea to donate to the DZ bar. As long as they don't cover any sprinkler heads, they can be draped along the ceiling, and from the ceiling to the upper parts of the walls. Quote I don't know just how many various types of lighted Beer signs from the 60's & 70's one actually should have in their possession, but I bet I have 5 or 6 times the recommended amount! You can guess what I recommend doing with these! (yes, the DZ bar idea). They'd probably post some kind of appreciation plaque for your donations, making it one big "I love me" wall (okay, four walls and a ceiling, but you get the idea). That's the place where these things definitely would be appreciated by the right people! Especially those people who know & jump with you as well.See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 6 #81 January 7, 2014 Quote Also an idea to donate to the DZ bar My 'home' DZ doesn't really have a bar...one is fairly close but seldom sees a lot of DZ traffic. That said ~ I use to dream about opening up a bar close to a general aviation airport like the one I lived near in Ca. In the back of my mind that may be the seed prompting some of the collecting. My better half has been involved in aviation her whole life and has accumulated a considerable collection of things fitting for such an establishment...combining the two would be a natural & an interesting atmosphere IMO. However - as I mentioned in a post earlier, been a tough couple of years, especially last year in regard to losing close family & friends. I had to deal with the 'final affairs' of folks who maybe 'planned' a little unrealistically for lives they would like to have but life got in the way... Gave cause to do some soul searching & some refocusing on priorities for the future. I'll never own a bar, I can't sit still long enough to make one a success...years ago I always thought 'when I get older and settle down' - but that ain't gonna happen. Handling the affairs of the deceased showed me quite clearly that all the little important 'treasures' we tend to hold on to - really DO end up owning you. Mementos of the past are interesting...but really only to you. I figure ya can move forward faster and change direction quicker when you're not loaded down so much. Capt. Mom & I love to travel, go on new 'adventures' - see & do something different as often as possible...I dunno how much 'time' I have left on this rock, but gathering treasures & worrying about em seems like a dumb thing to do with the time. So...yeah, some stuff I have will be 'donated' for hopefully useful purposes. Most I'm going to liquidate at a reasonable profit, I usually made pretty wise deals on things and little depreciation is expected - either way it's not about money, it's a downsizing & streamlining thing. Sounds a bit 'hippie-ish' I know but somehow It feels good to be getting rid of 'stuff' ~ As far as making a quilt out of tee-shirts...yeah - right after I start wearin' fuzzy pink bunny slippers! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
