What Are Weekends For?

Lileks plans his weekend. Sound familiar?

This weekend I plan to take 37 cans of paint to the recycling center (Motto: "Pouring it all down the drain after you drive off since 1987!"). The previous owners left every single can for future reference, and I've decided to use the space to store old stuff we never use but can't quite toss -- tax returns, half-completed novels, cryogenically frozen relatives and all those investment statements that boil down to "we moved some stuff from here over there and charged you seventeen dollars." The cans were moved to the garage, which exerts a peculiar status-quo field; non-car items in the garage tend to remain there for years. But they have to go. Aside from mailing the cans one at a time to the recycling center, what are my options?

Read it all here. (His analysis of the options is worth your time.)
