So most of you know, and some of you have seen, the 10 x 10 storage bin that houses most of my gaming stuff; the things I have referred to as “a whole lot of stuff” on many occasions. But in the month that I have been here, I haven’t really had a reason to go into the storage bin and start digging for something I needed … until Sunday night.

I decided that it was time to get my video game systems hooked up. The operation needed a couple of system specific cords, but more then anything, it needed my old Mad Catz Component video switch. The logic was simple: I could install these systems one by one, but it makes sense to do all the wiring right now, so that should I need to switch out a system, it will be a very painless process. When I went to the storage bin on Sunday, I dug for about 20 minutes, couldn’t find the cable.

So when I went last night (Tuesday), I was determined to find this and any other cable I might need. After going through every box I had in there, burying myself within the tubs in the storage bin, it took me going through a tub buried in the back of the storage bin a second time to find the component switch. Along the way, I found a lot of tubs containing games, cables, and other items that I knew I would use first, so those did get moved to the front, and I also found some nick-nack stuff that I could use pretty soon too (like my blue Dreamcast!)

So it ended up being for more then just the need to get this cable, but boy it wasn’t easy!
