Some of the inkjets I work on use solid toner "pearls", wax balls basically, in place of liquid ink. The pearls are stored in clear hoppers then dropped like gumballs into the tops of individual, heated print heads on demand. There are 8 printheads, each with a retail price of over $3000, and since they're heated to melt the toner pearls they like to melt their own circuit boards. Frequently. If you ever have the chance to own one, don't.
Here's a picture of the maintenance tray. The solid toner mounds up and 50% of my customers forget to swap out the tray before stalagmites hit the carriage and cause all sorts of trouble.
Get the cheap engineering inkjets out of the BH photo catalog. Don't mess with Colorwaves.
My poor understanding wife allowing my to boil my harmonic balancer so I can install it. It also helps when you have the correct installation tool.
favorite shift knob ever. Ive only ever seen two. I want another, but doubt I will ever find it.

Yes, old bikes have cup holders (when you're working on them).

Great pic! The Austin A35 belongs to Nial McCabe, who used to post often over on the Classic Motorsports forum as "Aeronca". Cool guy. Very interesting story on how a rusted hulk of a car was rescued from a field in Canada, brought back to NJ, and turned into a race car. He also races a Spridget (painted with a roller) in BRG color. Did I say he's a cool guy? 
In reply to Gary :
I think I met him years ago with the Spridget, had no idea that was his too.

Judging from the size of the blocks, that's a pretty small space. Otherwise it looks like a lot of the tack rooms that I bunked in when I was a horseman. It would be a good upgrade from sleeping in the car, an empty stall, hay loft, shedrow, or under an awning or a tree.
