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?

@birdfan....*G* Please include:
-Certain varieties of motorcycles (not an H/D fan, sorry....)..."Life Begins @ 100"...(when you're young and not afraid of death. ;)...)
-Lotus cars esp.; small, nimble cars in general....
-'Svelte' women in general...(I'm allowed to look, but no touch or drool..)

...there's other items that could fit the list, but become either illegal or distracting....much like my last entry...;)

aewarren & asvjerry,

We are having a house built in the Biltmore Lake community, one with a "bonus room" above the garage.

When we sell our house in Maryland, we'll move in with our daughter, who has lived in Asheville over 10 years now.  We've visited several times over those years, love that town.

Like myself, I assume you are 60+ years of age. I just sold my Snell TypeA V5 speaker system, not because it didn't sound good but because the idea of moving it again was daunting. After boxing it up, I felt like a went a few rounds with Hulk Hogan. Everything has to be more physically manageable at this point.
