Key Ring

My next task in simplification:
The key ring.

It is a big jangly mess. It is bulgy, awkward and pokey. Plus, it makes too much noise.

I got a locking carabiner. Now I am ditching the many components, and taking advantage of the carabiner to hold only the set I need for each excursion that takes me out of the house. I'll take a house key and a key either for the motorcycle or car.

No need to carry both vehicle keys simultaneously. No need for stupid bank key cards. No room to carry the bike lock key, the amenities key, the file cabinet key, or any stupid keychain.

I am definitely past the desire to carry a bottle opener with me. Plus, it's better style to know how to do it MacGuyver style, like with a folded bill.
