Choices, Choices: How's one to decide?

I really need to know I'm not just crazy here.

But, I guess I feel like a lady with a closet full of shoes trying to decide which to wear (we men don't tend to have this "opportunity" cause most guys only have a few pair to choose from).
So, here's the deal- You wake up in the morning. Grab your standard stuff- money clip, iPhone, wallet, etc.....but what about that day's carry? How in the world do you decide which one to take for that day?

Help me out here, cause lately, like this morning- I changed my carry 3 x before I walked out the door. I went from my Strider RC to my Mantis Jyro and then changed again to my GE Stag toenail :) Like the difference between a hardcore working truck to a hyperdrive sports car and then to a classic collector car....but am I messed up..... Tell me I'm not crazy. There has to be some way to decide instead of my mood LOL and I really don't want to carry more than one either......

Straight down on them is better. And sometimes it works better if you line them up vertically......and shoot straight down as much as possible. Also some guys will put some kind of ruler in between.

If I'm not happy with a post, I just delete it and start over.

Thanks Jan but what I would have done is just replace one picture with another one. Is there a way to do that? It seems I have 15 minutes after posting a post to change it. Other than deleting it I mean. Would my only option be to delete the post and redo the post?

Look up in the upper right hand corner of the post, you should be able to delete your own. I am not much a photographer but usually in you have them low so you can shoot straight down on them it helps

Here is my EDC today and a lot of days and why.

Spyderco Chaparral 2: The first knife size I prefer. Blade just under 3".

Queen small lockblade: This will do about anything I normall need and won't scare anyone I don't think.

Spyderco Manbug (modified): I carry this in a neck sheath or sometimes clipped to an EDC flashlight I carry (Fenix LD01). I've found I use a small flashlight about as often as a pocket knife. Do you know anyone who doesn't carry a pocket knife because they don't think they need one? I was like that with EDC lights until I tried it. I even gave wife one to hang outside her bottomless pit (purse lol). Now she can find her keys in less than 2 minutes. :) There's a pic of the Manbug (original model) with the light below.

Thanks to a new law in Texas or I should say lack of a new, I can add this to my carry rotation. Will try out for first time today.

Don't feel bad, I feel the same way, I do have a couple that I regularly switch between as my EDC's (both Buck 110's) I somtimes get a wild one to carry something different.....Maybe it will be my Camillus CM26? How About my Schrade Old Timer 25OT? ...now *here* is a classic 110 when they made the sheaths to hang low on your belt. decisions, decisions
