Well, Loog, it USED to have socks in it, so therefore the "sock
drawer" name, but that was some tiem ago. The socks have had a home
on a laundry room shelf for quite a while now.

Well, I feel like a total asshole. In my sock drawer I have socks,
t-shirts, and jockey shorts.

I don't have a sock drawer either.
The dirty ones are in the washer and the clean ones are in the dryer.

Very simple.

Do you keep your socks and underwear in the same place?

According to his neighbors, Eisboch and his dog occasionally wear a pair
of jockey shorts on their heads while walking down the country lane.

Or so the rumors go.

At least you have a sock "drawer."

I've got a closet with large pull-out trays, and a tray for my white,
black and "other" socks. Not a monstrosity of my making.

In the drawer to the right of my desk, I have the following:

55 different kinds of computer/camera/tape record connect wires
a half dozen different airline frequent flyer cards, some for airlines
that no longer exist
earphones
two different tripod heads and several different quick release plates
three boxes of staples
a bic lighter
three boxes of speer golddots
various receipts I need to keep

In the drawer to the left of my desk, I have the following:

(classified)

:)

In my sock drawer I keep my Plastmo compass, my Standard Horizon VHF, my
Garmin GPS, old Sony Watchman and various AC charging cords.
Seemed like a good safe place.




(unclassified)

In the drawer to the left of my desk sits a
9mm Sig semi-auto long barrel handgun. It is not loaded.
A fully loaded 19-round mag is carefully hidden nearby.
I can slap the mag into the handgun and rack the slide pretty damned quick.

Naturally, if there are kids in the house, the handgun and mag go in the
safe.

Even simpler - the house keeper does all that for me.

And by house keeper, I don't mean Mrs. Wave. :)

Hey Tim,

I think Tom suggested this as well. I have a little HP R717 point and
shoot as my kick around camera.
It came with the USB cord for uploading to a computer using the HP Photo
something or other software that came with the camera.

I quickly determined it was a pain in the neck, cumbersome and slow using
the HP software.
I bought one of the USB SD cardreaders for about 29 bucks, and just take the
SD memory card out of the camera, plug it into the reader and then into a
USB port. (In fact this computer has a SD slot in it).

Anyway, it shows up as another drive in "My Computer" and is much faster to
open, download, delete, etc.
than using the camera as an external drive connected by the USB cable.
Plus, you don't have to have the camera sitting on your desk or waste
battery power in it to upload the pics.

When you awaken at oh dark thirty to get on your computer, it helps to have
all the important stuff in one drawer. Less chance of waking SWMBO.
