Busy Shack Photos

[KC8JPZ]

I was inspired by sglass to start a thread on messy desks. I know that mine is not that bad at the moment but it will build back up. Usaully a bimonthly organizing helps. That was last week so, gimmie a few weeks.

Ok guys. Lets see em.

The side arm is on the speakers above the monitor.lol

Oh how times have changed

I'm almost too ahsamed to show this.... but you've seen my new setup and I don't keep shop like this anymore!

This picture is from 6 years ago when my monitoring station doubled as a computer repair workbench. Living in a small trailer, there wasn't a whole lot of room. Someone (my then wife) took a picture of this for why I don't know and I found it on her computer after she passed. There's some old Motorola Mostars up on top and an old Realistic SSB cb in there with several other scanners inscluding my crown jewel BC-8500XLT. That was a bad mofo of a scanner back in the day.

I'm sure someone can beat my mess of a desk

Busy Shack

Maybe your shack would not be so "BUSY" if you didn't have * plants growing on your desk ! JUST KIDDING!!!!
*By the way, I THINK I remember having plants all over my Busy Shack back in the 1970's.....................................

lol. Looking at the picture again I guess I did not realize the one plant looks similar to another well known plant. The funy thing is it's a money tree.........

Cable Management Issues

Jim, Jason-

As long as we're opening our kimonos... I don't have the busiest shack, but I've definitely got a real rat's nest when it comes to my cables...

Best,

Tack up some cheep fake wood on the back of that desk and poke holes for the cables.I know if your like me, I dont dare pull my desk away from the wall for fear of what may happen.

 

[lebrunmn]

Good idea... I think I might still have the wood-grained "back" that came with the desk.

And you're right--I don't dare move that desk away from the wall... that container of Locktite isn't just there for show

Regards,

 

[KC8JPZ]

lol. I just noticed the loctite. Do you have any problems from the wireless router there?

 

[lebrunmn]

Actually the router doesn't cause any problems with the scanners at all... I have to be more careful with the Kenwood, though. It seems more prone to RF interference when it's too close to another scanner.

Well you have to quit watering it with Mountain Dew and use water instead... not bad setup im sure we all have a messy shack we just clean it up before we snap a pic and it goes back to the same way. lol

[KC8JPZ]

I'm just glad that I'm not the only one... My garage..That is a whole nother story. Maybe that needs to be next.

Remeber. There is nothing wrong with a messy shack.

Remember, a neat desk is the sign of a sick mind....

[KC8JPZ]

You guessed it.. I was out of my Yuengling I get imported from PA. The ol lady got cans of miller. Its not the greatest. Some things just dont get wasted around here.

 

[Signal3and2]

It may be miller, but you can't blame the guy for NOT wasting beer no matter what brand it is
