I have the tools my dad used in medical school to dissect cadavers. Also an old aluminum briefcase that I crookedly stenciled "WARNING: SUITCASE NUKE" on while I was drunk. So now I can't take it outside because some people are actually frightened by terrorism for some reason.

Location: in my own little tamarillo jungle,

a fossil from the marrocian mudslide some 40 million years old, trilobite.
an aquamarine with a morganite center, raw uncut some 12-15 carats.
a whole heap of servers, pc's and random hardware.
several ship identification and rescue beacons, most still programmed, dunno if any of the id's are still active.
a medium sized marine scanning radar, it is an old cathode system rated at around 10 kw.

sveral older books, nothing too rare or valuale there, i love my old physicians guide to medicinal plants.

a small jungle of tropical plants, two almost mature tamarillo's, a kiwanu and 6 cocoa plants, i ordered another species of very rare cocoa as well, supposedly it is the one originally used by the mayans, unfortunately it is an endangered plant and the seeds are amazingly hard to get a hold of, if done from a seed bank for the purpose of cultivation it is legal though.

the scent of the tamarillo is pungent and powerfull,

I have a custom hand painted Zvex Fuzz Factory (Fuzz) Pedal that's labeled solely in Chinese aside from the artist signature. Though I don't know if it's even accurate or just for looks... the pedal was painted in america and made by an american manufacturer, so I'm rather skeptical of any actual meaning to the writing... and wouldn't be surprised if "Gain" was "Dragon" and "Volume" was "Tiger" or something similar. I really did have to memorize the name of each of the 5 knobs just so I could properly adjust it without looking at the instruction sheet every time >_>

Aside from that... My stuff is rather ordinary for a 25 year old male, with few possessions, and with an autistic special interest that's almost solely focused on electric guitar :|

Edit: I forgot I also have a sitar emulator pedal for my guitar... which is a bit unusual.

The bullet fragments I pulled out of my arm. They're in a small pill bottle.

1966 Wurlitzer Electric Piano

I would sacrifice my life to protect it. It sounds delightful. Think of the EP from "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors
