    GRM Calendar! Coupla 1920's car race posters, B&W photo of the flatiron building in NYC, pictures of bore erosion, spread sheets on spiral wear, reports on a new propellant and a 1978 photo of my wife.

    Oh yeah, a 5 X 7" picture frame with dead rose petals in it, the caption "Zuzu's Petals" under it. Reminds me that all this is not a dream ....

    Monitor/laptop (not attached to monitor) speakers. Empty beer bottles. (one Bells Oberon, one Big Sky Moose Drool) one filled oil sample waiting to get mailed to blackstone labs.

    I mainly work from home, and we just moved to the new house ~ a week ago, so my desk is pretty clean right now.

    In addition to the usual computer crap and boring business stuff, I have:

    • Badtz-Maru mini trashcan full of pens and pencils
    • a couple of pint glass/beer stein autocross trophies
    • a miniature Progress coil spring
    • an unblown 3-liter-bottle blank that looks unfortunately like a... err, personal massage device
    • an Evolve Fish with feet that's holding a wrench
    • a still from the horrible movie version of The Fountainhead
    • an erection bolt from the first building I ever designed that cost over $1million in construction.

    I used to have an N-scale electric train running around my monitor pedestals but it ended up taking up too much space so I put it away.

    Besides the laptop w/docking station, monitor and other computer stuff, voicemail phone, there is a car-a-day desk calendar, a couple pads of paper w/pens and pencils laying around, a small clock, an paperclip cup, stapler, scotch tape, misc work papers laying around. On the moniter base is a toy model a a Corvette Stingray, a toy model of the Cars cartoon star and a toy model of a Chinook helicopter (which is my past and present work). On the cube wall, autocross events list, GRM calendar, CM calendar, pic of me in Saudia Arabia during Desert Storm, pics of my Opel GT and a MKII Midget and a MKII Sprite. That's all I can mention, the rest of the stuff laying around wouldn't interest you. If it does you might be a candidate for a patio.
