I don't seem to be becoming more ambitious as I get older

you direct it different now but ya I get it - if Orangeman gave me the title/keys to Marlargo and all the funds to keep it 1st thing I do is find a realtor.

[MrNubbz]

I try to limit the stuff I keep and try to toss things out of give them away when I can.
Don't want to leave a larger burden than needed for my daughters.

That shouldn't be a problem you lose enough skin games

  I was living in my Father's basement saving money for a down payment.
(and spending $$ on cars, pickups, motorcycles, snowmobiles...)

Ignoring the radon detector going off

I'd keep the property and develop it myself. It would probably double in value, at the very least.

I couldn't hear it - the music was TOO loud!

I'd sell it to you and let you enjoy the rewards of your labor.

Well they will get some sort of a settlement out of it.

A settlement they won't think is sufficient because this is 53 year old "irreplaceable" stuff. My dad CC'd me on the email where he was demanding compensation for the ENTIRE set, not just the broken bits, because the idea was that they wanted us to have a full 12 place settings of everything, and we ended up with only 5 dinner plates.

Of course, because I know how to google, I found replacements for the "irreplaceable" stuff at replacements.com

Perfect parental behavior

I left my turntable and vinyl behind.  I meant to sell the vinyl but didn't have time, some of it was probably worth something.  I hadn't had the turntable hooked up in years, it was an ancient Pioneer PL-12D manual operation that wasn't convenient.

I moved the speakers and receiver, and a few years ago upgraded the receiver.  I was quite surprised what a difference it made.  The center channel on my old receiver was out and I wanted to run one, already had it.  The new receiver really made a sound difference in sound quality. 

I get a lot of you tube stuff now with classical music concerts we like to watch and listen to, the sound quality is very good.  This dude is coming here in September but I don't have tickets.

taking the cover off your components and cleaning the electronics of dust, etc on a regular basis makes large difference as does the quality of your speakers
