Thought I'd share a photo of my latest find. I was at a Flea Market last weekend and found the unit on the far left. It's an industrial air cleaner. Goes for around $550.00 when you buy it online. (The new version that is. Only thing different is the electronics panel.) Anyway I got it for $15.00 and it works GREAT. Best money I've spent in a long time. I run that thing when I smoke and it cleans out everything. My house doesn't smell like stale smoke when I come in from work anymore either. The other side of the photo is my currnet setup for CBIDing and such. I usually smoke here in my living room at my desk.

You scored! Big.

dude that is way to cool, what a score...

Lol Roth, I don't smoke indoors at my place, but do our bookshelves ever look similar. I have the Beat Reader, and if I'm not mistaken, that looks like duct tape on the spines of some of those books, which indicates use with a capital "U."

Well there aren't any books with tape... but some of them should. Thats my smallest bookshelf too. I have a lot of beat poetry readings on cd. And quite a few books. Kerouac is my favorite.

That Beat Reader really opened my eyes. I was so ready to free my culturally encrusted mind at that point in my life. After I read it I ran out and got "On the Road." That was some of the last fiction I read before going back to school, and some of the best. I don't know if Ferlinghetti is still alive, but Diane DiPrima appears in a few local rags here in the Bay Area now and then.

I've read On the Road... In a word I found it "Earthy". Good but it was a highlight of a seedy kind of exsistence. I liked the Dharma Bums a lot better, and Mexico City Blues. I have 3 different CD sets of Readings. One set is all Kerouac, which is my favorite. The second one has mainly West Coast Poets and the third one has East Coast Poets. All Read by the origional authors. I also have a book on tape of Alan Ginsburg reading Kerouac's Dharma Bums. Along with a few other compilation books like the Beat Reader.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,/dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,/angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night--"Howl" by Allen Ginsberg.

Man you are one lucky dog! I am not allowed to smoke either my pipe or cigars in the house. I have an older model air purifier unit (simular to yours) and I will agree they do take most smoke and odors out of the air (as well as pollen, dust, and some other air borne crap).

Topped for the Air Purifier question...

ajeroth

is that an old boxed

set of LOTR I see there?

Good Eye... it sure is.

ajeroth

can't brag too much, I've got the

same set on my book shelf.

Had the joy of reading it to my son last year.

You are pretty well hooked up there. Man...I would have my zone look like that if I were single. Instead....all my gars are yard gars.

what is up with the shelf bracket, tie -strapped to the exercise machine?????? Id that a cigar holder for when you work out?

LOL I forgot about that.... It was an experiment to see if I could type on a keyboard and pedal at the same time. I put the shelf brackets there and when I wasn't using it with the keyboard I turned them around to the other side to get them out of the way. I know I know... Uberdork.

Topped because of the Air Purifier.

I hope that ugly SOB works!
