You know you have to many projects when..
1. You recieve UPS packages out of the blue and have no idea whats inside.
2. You have Guitar parts in almost every closet in the house
3. You are thinking about a which part you need every time you pass a Radio Shack.
4. You have a can of Nitrocelluose in almost every shade.
Come on guys think of some more!!

I called the post office customs dept a while back to enquire about a package, and the girl said "No cannot find any info on that one, but I have another one here" and came up with one which I had noe idea about. She told me who the sender was, and I was still absolutely blank. When I received it I finally remembered...

...the filing cabinet to pull out a bill or document, and start grabbing the schematics in there instead. why did i ever file those things in there?

when i go to grab the mail, and there are catalogs for StewMac, The TubeStore, Mouser, some guy in the southwest who builds custom cap cans...

when hurricane Isabel rips thru town, i have no power, and my wife wants to listen to the radio. i have no batteries for my boom boxes, so i wire up a cable to connect a Walkman to a cabinet that i built, that still has the accompanying head in a total state of disarray (what did i have planned for that head anyway?)...

when i have 8 nearly identical looking pickups, and i have to play detective to figure out which is which.

when i run out of boxes, labels, packing materials for stuff that i'm trading to get something in return for certain projects.

when i finally get around to ordering hardware, pickups, etc., only to find out they were all sold on clearance, or the business went belly up...

when family, friends, or people i hardly know call me up and ask me how their amp, guitar, or pedal is coming along, and i can't remember, or haven't started working on it yet...

almost forgot one:

when i start housing stompbox projects in anything that resembles a box, because i forgot to order more boxes, or it's 2 am, Home Depot is closed, and i can't improvise with some sort of box from there!

When you can't remember where the parts came from on that first one...or third one.

...when you actually complete a project only to realize you just used components that were vital for something else...
