Clean Office (photo)
Gents, my wife spent an hour and a half in my office this morning, getting it cleaned up. With all this tidiness and neatness all around me, I figured it was a pity that no one else could enjoy it, so here's a photo of my spic and span office while it lasts. My wife accused me this morning of being a hoarder and asked why I need all this stuff. I protested but she was unconvinced. This is my room so I figure I can keep stuff in it all I want.

Re: Clean Office (photo)
I'm with Pitchy----way too clean. I like to be able to sneeze and pick my nose and not have to wipe it up. I may be organized but clean?..............not that much. 
Very nice though. It would be great for entertaining high end clients.

Re: Clean Office (photo)
Looks good. The only way mine could get that clean is if we just burnt it down and started over. With tech manuals, miscellaneous parts, computerized equipment and testing gear and supplies, not to mention my gun stuff, there's barely room for me in here.

Very nice Kirk! Does she do windows too? My shop has trails to get through it with discarded parts piled against the east wall. At my age I'll probably just let the survivors worry about it.

Re: Clean Office (photo)
Well as a matter of fact, she did my windows too! Now if you gents want to see a messy office, you should see my Dad's. He does not believe in throwing anything away in case he needs it. Thus, the piles of receipts and farm paperwork for the past 60 years in files and stacks. I said, 'Dad, when you pass away, we'll just back up one of those massive dumpsters outside the window of your office and with a couple days of hard work, empty out this office.' He just smiled.M. M.

Kirk, I knew you'd get the bite put on you for that '95 (fast work there Sixgun ... ) ...
