I see shops of anal persons, and I just cringe. As long as I can find
it, just don't mess with any of my "stuff".

Anal is one thing, and it's sometimes ridiculous. My shop is
"cluttered", mostly for lack of space, and I have a "disorganized
organization system" for where things should/will be. But it's not a
physical safety hazard to work in.

Gunner may like his layout. I find it distracting to have to physically
climb over one machine tool to work on another. Even more so to have to
move 300-400lb of randomly-stacked tools and materials just to get to the
one wrench I laid underneath it all a month ago.

I dont like my layout..but I dont have to crawl over one machine to work
on another..not yet anyways.

Ill take pictures again when I finally finish
clearing/cleaning/organizing.

My problem is..is that for the past 12 yrs..I was working away from
home 5-14 days at a time, often home for 1-2 days, and then back on the
road again..and so forth. The reason its a mess..is that this year..I
was for much of it...unable to go out and move Stuff around due to the
triple bypass and stroke. Frankly..it hurt a LOT to try to move heavy
**** and lift and carry. It has been a growing and healing year. And
one where I found limitations that I never had before.
And of course..my son and his family moved in twice...so the back
bedroom, where I used to store electronic Stuff got emptied out and all
that crap put in the shop as well. Hence the pile of boxes in front of
my grinder bench..still going through that stack. It used to be much
bigger. Sigh. Excuses excuses..yah..I know. Shrug. But Im getting a
grip on it. I brought the Lancer lathe home last week and laid all the
bits and pieces on the two welding benches...so now I cant even weld
anything out there.

And then the earthquake hit, the dam broke, the volcano erupted,
there was a plague of flies, locust and frogs (twice on the frogs),,
two hurricanes, followed by three weeks of a driving blizzard right
around the Fourth of July weekend, the dog had kittens, a visit from
the undead, Elvis got the Mothership stuck in the temporal vortex
(again) and needed a tow, and then a complete rebuild of the flux
captivators (do you know how difficult it is to get parts for a 2012
Stratocrusier, the one with the fluid hyperdrive?).
Not to mention surrealists broke in, stole everything, and
replaced it all with exact duplicates!

Sigh...snivel..whimper...chuckle
