The view of Liverpool's waterfront skyline from Seacombe as Svitzer Bidston headed by with both hoses on full power. I'd gone to see the Tall Ships Parade Of Sail but the tug was the highlight!

This is my friend's old Commodore Adding Machine. ´from the 1960s. Older than him! And that's how I spend quite a bit of time, nowadays... taking care of old machinery. Just for fun. Not for getting rich ;-)
Reading about ADD is pretty boring compared to hoarding. Could be because it's all so familiar and the symptoms of ADD are tiresomely annoying while hoarding has a delusional component that is rather fascinating.
This is the required reading for ADD specialist certificate. I'm sitting for the exam this week.
Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood through Adulthood by Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. and John J. Ratey, M.D.
An oldie, but goodie. Interesting case studies with a storytelling narrative flavor. Gives a good picture of the kind of people who have ADD and how they are living their lives. Also only book that addresses sex and couple dynamics when one person is ADD. And a chapter on family dynamics when one child is ADD.
More Attention, Less Deficit: Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD by Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA Short chapters with descriptive titles make the table of contents the thing to read. Covers all the basis of diagnosis, pharmaceuticals and tips, but not in depth enough to be of any real help.
Fidget to Focus: Outwit Your Boredom: Sensory Strategies for Living With ADD by Roland Rotz, Ph.D and Sarah D. Wright, M.S., A.C.T.
The most interesting and helpful of the lot. A short book with large type full of tips and anecdotes about handling boredom. I hadn't really understood that boredom was key to the ADD brain. Written for the high functioning ADD person who needs to figure out work arounds. Based on leveraging self-monitoring and self regulation skills. Ranges from chewing gum, to playing games on PDF under the table, to doodling, to asking confrontational questions to make things more exciting. I've used the last one, recently, to keep from falling asleep at lectures.

Dopamine serves to highlight informational input which helps with executive function, decision making and self-regulation. The newest book in the stack. It goes into how the brain works and why it doesn't in the case of ADD. Good basic introduction to science side of ADD.
