..... is now explained... 
8 hours of cleanup between Friday and now turned my hellish mess into what you see below. You didn't want to see the 'before' images. I could spend another 8 hours doing the other 1/2 of the basement that's not pictured, but I better go fix something now.
To think this all started with $3000, a trip to Boeing Seattle and 5 Barco 800s. Sick bastard!

Yeah, I can actually give someone a tour now. Before this, it was 'umm, yeah, that's the dungeon where I keep the parts' and I'd just point down the stairs..

My place use to resemble that. It reminds me of Active Surplus in Toronto, before they moved upstairs.

I had to use the old "Windows key" - M when my wife walked by my computer. If she saw Curts place she would kill ME...He is a bad influence.

I loved that place!! you never knew what you would find...used to come home with all kinds of "useful" crap. WOW! turns out there is something I miss about Toronto
That, and the first few warm days of spring, when 6 months worth of frozen dog sh*t thawed out and the entire City smelled like the inside of the S.P.C.A.
yeah, I really miss that

Don't forget the tax hike this time every year. Yea that's great too. You know I've never noticed the smell. Must be because I'm a native. Unga Bunga!

Looks like an exhibit at the Smithsonian Curt! It's nice to know that we have this stockpile of goodies available for our aging machines. If only tubes were in such great supply...
