Letting your Labrador lick your pan clean after cooking breakfast makes me feel so special.

One of my “just manly” things is to have something I’m working on (e. g., a computer or a piece of radio equipment) disassembled and in pieces on my table, parts and tools all over the place.

I’m going to add another inspired by you that I’m guilty of quite often. I even had an ex girlfriend stop over to visit and she laughed about it. I also do the computer parts on the kitchen counter thing too.

The feeling of freedom when you keep your mechanics tools and car parts in your kitchen.

Hey Pig, good thread, I’ll start with my downstairs bathroom, filled to the ceiling with brand new OEM 1950 MG-TD parts, My attic is filled with antique pedal cars, tractors, and scooters, my garage upstairs is filled with amc-amx-parts, and the MG body and parts disassembled. My basement filled with sheet-metal equipment, and my garage filled with welders, and tools of every imaginable sort, My bedroom and living room has large RC airplanes and a heli. I have a motorized 1933 Pontiac pedal car with suspension, differential, and F-R transmission “my own creation” parked in the living-room. I’m even thinking about mfg, my own ultra lite aircraft with 60lb extruded polystyrene and carbon fiber, a high power to weight ratio, and minimized drag, I’ve drafted many different designs. These are only toys and I don’t love them, I don’t get upset when paint gets scratched, or things get broken, I figure it’s all junk anyway! I had a model airplane dubbed “flying garbage”, it flew good, and I s~~~ you not, it was made from garbage; cardboard wing, pringles potato chip can fuselage, and plastic coca-cola bottle for the empennage, It flew good until it went out of range and decided to battle a tree (low bat)I could go on, and on. I like creating things,

P.S. I have poodles, and yes they do lick my plate. I’ve always had poodles, I use to breed them.

I’ve got a sea kayak as the center piece of my decor in my living room too. The wenches hate it.

My bedroom’s more like a giant storage closet than a place to sleep.  I’ve got books, journals, stacks of DVDs and videocassettes, radio antennas, old computer equipment, and boxes full of salvaged electronic parts.  What’s not to like about that?

In addition to having all those bits and pieces spread out all over the place is the freedom to work on it dressed only in my undies if I want to.  It’s hard to top that!

My personal bedroom is full of guitars and tube amps,kayak paddles,fishing rods and a weight bench workout area. Another bedroom has been converted into a server room and tech work bench area with various computers and parts stacked against the walls along with even more guitars in storage.

I do keep my bathrooms, floors, cooking area, and dishes all tidied up though.

Who needs a “man cave” when we’ve got bedrooms like that, eh?
