Keep Valuable Tools in a Secure Storage Unit

Whenever I go to a Hollis storage facility, it reminds me of Florida.  It sounds weird but there are many New Yorkers in Florida and I lived there for a few years.  I had a lot of friends from New York in Florida and they were all great friends of mine and fun to be with.  There are a lot of people from New York in Florida for a lot of different reasons.  It seems to be the choice of people from New York to retire or go to Florida.  All my friends were young and left New York to get away or get out.  The nice weather, beaches, and girls in bikinis all appealed to the New Yorkers I knew.  I did not stay in Florida too long and left.  Being young, I found it fun to move to different areas of the United States and I did.

I am at the Hollis storage facility right now thinking and texting and talking to people on my cell while I go through my stuff.  I have lots of stuff now but when I was young, I traveled lightly.  I had a guitar I still play today and clothes and a few picks.  I could fit everything I had at that time in my car with room to spare.  Now I visit all my stuff once in awhile because apartments are small in New York and I need things.  There is no place for tools and I like tools.  I like drilling holes in wood and making things.  I do it at my storage space.  I can make noise here and no one cares.  My walls are paper-thin in my apartment so every word next door I can hear if I want to.  Most of the time I do not want to hear what they are saying if you get my drift.  They argue about money, and where were you and than I take a walk.

It is peaceful here in Hollis storage, in my peaceful storage with my favorite things.  Storage lets you keep your peaceful things that are full of memories from your past of near past.  I remember buying this drill a long time ago.  It still works fine.  Tools last a long time.  I work outside most of the time on a workbench I have in storage too.  The rules say not to do it, but if no one is around including the storage facility manager, well, I drag it out and work on it.  I can not make big things, because of my small apartment.  I have to make small things here in my Hollis storage space.  I have had it for a long time.  I imagine I could have bought all new tools for the price of this storage, but I do not.  I guess a lot of people do the same thing I do.  Most of the storage lockers and spaces here have locks on them so a lot of people are storing things too.  In New York, you usually have more things than room to put them in.  Maybe I will move someday again.  I like beaches too.  I like warm weather and girls in bikinis too.  I could grow to like L.A.  There are beaches there too.
