What Keeps You Busy With Your Stamps At The Moment?

I just finished a ~2 month project of sorting, reorganizing and placing my US collection on stock pages (minus those in my albums). I just dug out a huge Canada stamp collection (15-20 thousand stamps) that I purchased off ebay several years ago and will start the same, long process on ... ugh.

Three major distractions are stopping me from organizing my Cinderella Collection into their rightful categories.

Sickness, Work and SCF.

One day I will be busy with the task though....one day.

I have to say that my addiction to this site keeps me interested and exploring new areas of stamp collecting. On the flip side, if I'd stay of the computer I'd have more time to actually sit down with my stamps.

I am currently re-arranging my pre-decimal GB and trying to get to the bottom of several auction lots purchased over the last couple of months. I tend to go through checking for additions to my main collections of the old GB, New Zealand and Germany in detail, then the rest of the stuff quickly to fill gaps then try to move it on (to buy more). The problem is I keep running out of space! Work does tend to interrupt the process though, unfortunately. My wife says I'm obsessed, don't know where she gets that from...........

Right now I am working on organizing my Canadian collection. Still in the process of looking up the stamps in my Unitrade catalogue, but hope to start putting them into an album this weekend if time allows me.

Speaking of Unitrade, impressive catalogue in my mind. Much better than the Stanley Gibbons catalogues I have for Australia and New Zealand, it is right up there with Norgeskatalogen I use for my Norwegian collection.

I am a bit tired of mounting and describing,

I have 2000 aussie to soak over the weekend,
a nice relaxing event, I can read whilst
the water goes to work.
(and enjoy a cup of coffee and chicory and a sticky bun)

Aaah ... a picture of life in the fast lane at Woop Woop

If you were in striking distance,
I'd whack you with my cane.

Dan is bringing over Sue the sheep tomorrow,
my lawn needs a trim.

Nah, you'd never catch me - not since I painted the go-fast stripes on my walking frame.

I have been keeping busy trying to upgrade my U.S. coils. I'm going after the MNH copies to replace mu used. Some of them are beyond my price range. When I want a change, I'm trying to update my Hawaiian collection. I'm having better luck there.

I'm busy researching the text for my Aussie dues collection. I have 22,500 of the buggers fully sorted. Now I have to get them to tell a story.

i wish I could see a video of Rod soaking those 2,000 stamps ...Rod..celebration ! yesterday my 96 tacoma gas guzzler passed inspection...i am good for another YEAR !!

Aha! A vintage car collector as well.
My 95 Nissan Kingcab at 200k miles has never been never been inspected.
Like my stamp collection, it could be called a "study in decrepitude".
The covers are falling off of my album and the frame is starting to rust, but these can all be fixed, if and when I get around to it.

I am working on the Austria Empire arms issue!

I have just started going through my stock of Great Britain picking out interesting cancels (e.g FB, WDO, WCDO, triangular, etc.) and CDS prior to WWII and organizing them on Vario sheets. Its going to be a lengthy process identifying what the cancel codes mean.
