I was trying out one of my new cameras and took a pic just in one direction in my office......the pics shows me how bad it really is!

Hmm, what is in this little corner?

A 1/2 cup from Reno that I got because it reminded me of the 1/2 kettle.
A case with a collection of some knives and a watch case.
Some DVDs, Clapton and Keb Mo....
The lantern - was installing new batteries in case we lost power.
The Sony DV cam...just sitting there - not used for many months.....
Tiny torx and regular screwdrivers - from my last complete dis-assembly of the powerbook Mac after I dropped it!
A pile of wires - I see an indoor/outdoor thermometer in there...and a USB extension.
An old lens sleeve of some sort - I think I used that for some kind of 360 degree picture thingy.

Really, a stinking mess....and you should see all the other views.....

I think a cleaning is due after I finish all my tax stuff.

Yes
and the pic is nasty, too.



Kettle / pot
at least your mess doesn't have cobwebs on it.

Some parts of my workshop would make that look pretty well organized. %-P RIck
 
Now that it's fixed, I have no problem talking about it.

In 2002, my brother passed away. At that time, my ex was
living with me part time- every weekend, and a few nights a week.
We decorated the spare room for her kid. After we broke up, the room started filling up.
Just throw crap in there and close the door. It got out of control. I had everything,
including the kitchen sink I got on clearance at lowes. Enough wood flooring to do 2 rooms,
a ceiling fan, 2 coffee tables, a bunch of my brothers stuff, including 400 cds.
This summer I was determined to clean it out. I emptied the room completely, put down hardwood
floors, got rid of most of the crap. It felt really good. That will never happen again.
For 6 years I didn't use one of the rooms in my house.
My buddy is going thru the same thing now. He offered me a bunch of stuff. NO Thanks.
Living lean here.
