Well guys, I'm surprised with the comments so far lol..
I guess I'm not the only one this way it seems..
I figure now I'll add a little more in response to the comments..
I keep quite the stash of nuts and bolts.. Usually once a year I go through my bins (which are right on/next to the workbench) and take a quick inventory.. I used to restock at TSC, as they were cheap at the time.. Anymore though, I do just as Fawteen said and go to a salvage place and buy my fasteners, and misc. steel to put on the steel rack. The salvaged stuff is usually about half the money, and just as good as far as I am concerned.
At 31, I don't think I'll ever be totally organized myself.. no matter how hard I've tried in the last 15 years, I've never gotten organized.. I'm more organized than I have ever been right now.. Just trying to get to a point that I don't have to dig for hours for something to end up going to buy it anyhow.. Well, and like one of the posters, 2 years ago I couldn't hardly walk around in the shop..
I also have 2 trash cans, and 2 small drums (like grease comes in).. the trash cans are marked for burnables and for the dumpster, and the drums are marked for steel and for the rest of the iron (as to save time picking through and sorting everything loading scrap)
So far, in my efforts, not much has landed to the scrap pile.. One of the cabinets is going (when I moved the one next to it, it almost tipped over.. it was pretty rusty when I bought it, well, the side finally give away and the other cabinet was keeping it upright) and the steel can is now full (was half full when I started). The pail full of bearings is also going, but reading about using them as spacers, I may keep just a few of em.. You know, just in case.. LOL..
Tahnks again guys for not making me feel like the only one.. LOL.. Sounds like there's a few of us at least..

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
