Default Stuff

As I mentioned in my 'OFFLINE' thread, two weeks ago, after years of no access, I finally cleaned out my storage unit. That's $40 per month I no longer have to pay, and everything I own is now under one roof. I've only unpacked about half the boxes, mainly because I've found everything I was actually looking for. All my naval and aviation books are now on the shelves. The rest is stuff I picked up when I worked at the book distributorship and grabbed things that looked even remotely interesting. After fourteen years I still haven't read most of them.

Anyway, this is how my poor cluttered place looks now.

Books.


Books still in boxes.


More books.


Models and games still in boxes. Behind are the guitars, waiting to be set free again.


The comic collection is in my bedroom, along with the bike. It will go into the storage closet when everything else is unpacked.


The furnace room is also now the model closet. Only about half of those are unpacked, and I'm quickly running out of space.




I plan to buy another bookshelf on the 1st of October, and another one the month after that. I had one that was broken, but when I tried to fix it it just broke some more. It now lives in the trash dumpster.

Well, back to work.

A bike helmet Steve?

You are too manly for one of them.

You are Sailor Steve! You are subsims Chuck Norris.

You do not need helmets to protect you, helmets need you to protect them.

I don't quite have the dexterity I used to. The first day I wore it I went down a hill at the University of Utah. At the bottom was a set of steps - only three of them. Instead of pulling back on the handlebars and riding them on the rear wheel, I grabbef for the brakes instead. The bike and I did an end-over and I landed on the sidewalk head first. My first thought was "I just scratched up my brand-new helmet!" My second though was "I didn't just scratch up my tired old head!"

Unfortunately I don't wear it as often as I should.

That's a lot of stuff. I think you need to read some more Steve.
