Well at least you can see YOUR floor. My garage embarrasses me. In addition I also occupy a barn and an old 25' X 50' chicken coupe with my crap. Then there's the storage building in town that I also rent for frequently needed stuff that won't fit in my truck.
Now let's see.....
I have one of them ,one of them, TWO of them, THREE of those things, one of them, one of them, FOUR of them, one of them........
Yep, I'd say that's all necessary stuff.  My wifes car stays outside too. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? My trucks are outside!
But wheres' the fishin' poles?

"BEER FRIDGE"
Hey that reminds me......
Years ago when I lived in Texas I was always buying fishing worms at the local convenience store and of course paying an arm and a leg for 'em, but that's OK.
It was OK until I did a job for the guy that raised all those worms and sold them to all the convenience stores around the lakes in that area. One day he offered me a gross of live worms simply as a friendly gesture. "Where the hell would I keep that many worms" I asked him. He asked if I had a spare fridge. Of course I did, I had one in my wifes laundry room to keep beer in, that was all, just beer.
So anyway I took the worms home and dumped all (144) of them worms in the crisper drawers of the spare (beer) frig. My wife wasn't as happy as I was about my "good deal" but she was tolerating it. We lived about a block from the lake and I kept my boat at the nearby marina so a quick ski trip or fishing jaunt in the evening was typical for us and my worm storage method was really convenient. I would grab a hand full and put them in my wormtainer and off I'd go for an hour or two.
Well one time we went to Galveston for a weeks vacation. Seems that when we were gone an electrical storm caused a power failure (the first night we were gone according to the neighbors) and our best guess is that when the power later returned the breaker for the frig blew. Well it was several days after we were home and the week we were gone before we opened that frig to find all the worms had died a horrible death and had started to decay.
Have you ever smelled dead decaying night crawlers? Ten or twelve dozen of them?
My wife still won't let me forget about that little "good deal" of mine.  I am no longer allowed (by the comandant) to bring worms home after a fishing excursion.

I'll keep that in mind Roland
The wifey is just going to have to park outside is all I can tell you.
And my fishing poles are right where they are supposed to be, in my wifes closet next to my camo's, shotguns and golf clubs.
