DIY-ers unite!

I'm 100% gonna use all of those niche, one-off cables. Maybe just the connector will be useful..

That little metal bracket thingy? Uh, I don't remember what it was for.. or actually I do but I don't have that thing anymore... But if I end up making something similar in size, I've already got a bracket!

Was this the box of good parts, or the box of bad parts? Eh, I don't have time to test right now, better just keep both boxes... (followed by, "why isn't this working? I just swapped in new parts..)

Ah, this completely useless thing I made! Ha! How foolish I was to think this would ever serve it's intended purpose. I'd better keep it to remind myself how dumb I was.

My great-grandmother turned 20 during the Great Depression, and she helped raise me. I think that's why I'm like this too.
