2024-01-26 Bessey Clamps

Two newish Bessey clamps, seemingly unused. Most modern clamps are junky so we are not super interested in them, but the Bessey brand on these made the difference.

Bessey Clamps

Restored vintage ones are still nicer though.

Mongoose Crossway 250 hybrid bike. Had a couple of rust spots here and there and had been left to gather dust but that is cleaned up and now it is ready for a new rider.

Three somewhat elegant dining chairs all in good condition.

Chairs
 

2023-12-05 Giant Beach Cruiser

It is a strange ride, but then we did not test it on or near a beach, so what do we know.

A random Dyna-Glo grill by the side of the road with a very nice weather cover. Luckily the wheels were fine so we wheeled it over to the house of some friends who were in need of such an item. There were 3 slices of aubergine inside on the top rack.

Update: they put on a gas bottle and it works fine with nice even blue flames all round.

A random dining table with an inset tiled top. It needed a clean but is now ready to go and have some dinner served on it.

Lamps
 

2023-08-12 Giant Simple Seven

The Giant (or at least designed by Goant) Simple Seven is a beach cruiser with a one by seven gearset. It is a nonsense bike, built for form rather than function but we should be able to get this one ridable again and find a home for it.

Four assorted extension cords. Lots of people need these from time to time.

Two groups of dining chairs, one set of 4, quite modern and in perfect shape:

Cleaned up, new filters on the way and will be deployed into a needful household within days

Some form of combustion event may befall the fireworks later.

A random Festool Sortainer thingy, complete with a few screws inside. Expensive thing to discard.

Sortainer
 

2023-06-03 Felt Cafe8 Bike

A brand new Felt Cafe8 bike that had presumably sat in the back of a garage for a few years. It was at the curb, brand new, never ridden. We put air in the tires and cleaned the dust off and it is good to go.

2023-06-03 Dresser

This solid wood dresser was on the curb for disposal. It is heavy, and one pull loop is missing but there is a replacement taped inside. Weird.

Already sent down the line to be made available to people who need it.

A brand new Strider Laufrad. Never used.

2022-11-12 Lamps

2022-11-12 Crock Pot

We are not really fans of these things and have seen many discarded over the years that looked usable, but we never bothered with. It turns out that there is a outlet for them that we can funnel these towards. Hence we will now, starting with this one, pick up these things, test and clean them and send them off to people in need of such.

Crock Pot

More resuse is good.

 

2022-11-12 Britax B-Free

A Britax B=Free stroller. Nothing wrong with it and interestingly a friend speciifically requested a Britax of this rough type recently.

Britax B-Free

If you can shop to order in the waste stream you know there is too much stuff in it.

 

2022-11-05 Orange Extension Cable

A pretty long extension cable. When it came to us it was bodge spliced onto another shorter cable with electrical tape. We got rid of that and just on put a nice matching orange socket.

Orange Extension Cable

It seems to have previously belonged to a painter.

 

2022-10-09 Ridgid Thickness Planer

A random 13 inch Ridgid brand thickness planer sitting by the side of the road. We blew off a lot of dust and such and plugged it in and it works. Probably needs new blades and some oil here and there but otherwise a pretty nice find.

Pic shows a test piece of wood we ran through it for testing purposes.

 

2022-10-09 Emglo Compressor

An Emglo compact compressor. It is pretty beat up but works well and puts out air. The bleed valve leaks and some other stuff is messy.

Emglo Compressor
 

2022-10-08 Giant Revel

Giant Revel juvenile mountain bike thingy. Came to us with two flat tyres and really dirty. It turns out that you can pump up tyres and clean off dirt, but a bunch of poeple seems to not have picked up on this. where we found it.

Giant Bike
 

2022-08-18 Nightstands

A couple of pretty solid wooden nightstands with drawers. They were missing the handles but that was easy enough to fix and they will be off to furnish somebody's bedroom soon.

Nightstands

A chair for use at a breakfast bar or similar, we suppose. All very nice and already deployed into a house that has a distinct lack of chairs.

Now, cleaned up and going to a warehouse for furnishing homes of people who have need of furniture.

 

2022-06-11 Haro BMX

A random Haro BMX bike came to us with flat tires and a buggered up rear brake cable and housing. It turns out that if you put air in the tires, they are no longer flat, and if you us the correct length cable housing and adjust the brakes they work quite well.

Haro BMX
 

2022-06-08 Dyson V6

A random Dyson V6 cordless vacuum with fluffy head. This particular model with the powered fluffy head is highly rated. It has a bad battery but we were able to test it with a battery from a friend's similar model and it works fine.

Dyson V6

A new battery is now coming from iFixit.com and we will probably use this for a while.

 

2022-06-05 Trek Road Bike

A really nice Trek road bike. It has super nice components and such but has a small dent in in the top tube, really a shame. We found a home for it with somebody really into such things and I hope he has a good time with it.

A pair of wuite nice wooden chairs, suitable for kitchen table or some such. The joints had been reset by somebody using copius amounts of Gorilla glue, so we cleaned the excess up a little to make them more presentable.

Wooden Chairs

Ingested into supply chain for people who need furniture.

 

2022-06-04 Trek 950

A Trek 950 Multitrack that has been upgraded. The cranks, brakes and tyres all all later additions. Possible reason for discard was the flat rear tyres, but who knows.

Trek 950
 

2022-06-04 Simpson Pressure Washer

OK, we had to snag this from curbside garbage due to it having a nice Honda engine on it. It ran briefly when we first looked at it, then not at all. We found no spark and bad resistance values through the coil. New coil was 20 USD or so, so we put that on, flushed the fuel system and it works fine now.

Simpson Pressure Washer
 

2022-06-04 Round Table

A random small round table with folding leaves. Possible reason for discard was a wobble in the leg mounting. This required some dissassembly to remedy but we did that and it is now ready for a new home.

Round Table
 

2022-06-04 Dresser

This modern style dresser came to use with lots of really annoying Dora the Explorer stickers all over it. After scraping those off and removing the sticky residue with laquer thinner it is now good as new.

2022-06-04 Bike Shaped Objects

These are most certainly bike shaped objects. I think the KSDA in foreground was assembled poorly and never ridden, probably just as well. We have no idea what OYMA Power is, but that is a piece of junk also.

Bike Shaped Objects

These are perhaps usable for parts, but we have not the time or space so we passed them on to somebody more tolerant of garbage consumer goods.

 

2022-04-30 Trek Multitrack 7200

A nice Trek Multitrack 7200 hybrid bike. The chain has jammed between the cluster and the spokes and broken 8 of them. There was also damage on the hub. No matter, new (old) rear wheel from spares and it is good to ride.

Lodge Cast Iron Pan
 

2022-01-16 Fuji Absolute

A Fuji Absolute LE hybrid bike. It has been ridden a fair bit, judging by the brake dust, but the owner of this bike immediately before us was an idiot. The front quick release was lacking the springs and was just cranked down by twisting the lever rather that using the quick release lever.

Fuji Absolute
 

2021-12-15 Trek 7300FX

A random Trek 7300FX hybrid. It is a little dinged up and neglected while not having been ridden very much. It also seems the previous owner had a flat on the front and made some attempt to fix it but got confused and put the entire thing out in the trash. It now has a new front tube and is ridable. More tuneup activity will follow.

Trek 7300FX
 

2021-12-12 All-Clad Spoon

A random stainless steel All-Clad serving or cooking spoon. Nice enough but it has a funny profile in the bowl.

2021-11-19 Huffy Aluminium

Huffy Aluminium
 

2021-10-30 Schwinn Pathway

Schwinn Pathway hybrid bike some some issues. The shifters are all stuck and probably out of adjustment, so we will have a poke at that. Otherwise, seems like a reasonble if low end bike. Bars and stem are kind of weird and cheapo.

Schwinn Pathway
 

2021-10-30 Mercier Single Speed

Mercier single speed bike with fixed and ratchetting cog, you flip the back wheel over to make the switch. Flat front tire, fixed with a new tube, otherwise all in good shape.

A Schwinn Ranger mountain bike, more or less. Much neglected and never really ridden. It will be be given a big tuneup and then a new rider will be found for it.

Schwinn Ranger

The small problem of it being upside down should be easily correctable.

Babyjogger City Mini double stroller. It is pretty dusty but otherwise seems in OK shape.

Babyjogger City Mini
 

2021-08-12 Deltawing

Dell Desktop

A random Ryobi scroll saw with a fair amount of dust and crud on it. This is not the first we have found, though we may keep this one for a while.

2021-05-04 Spalding Blade

A Spalding Blade bike that claims to be an ATB, woohoo, but note it does so from the very distant past. No matter, cleaned up, rides fine seeking new home.

Spalding Blade
 

2021-04-27 Le Creuset Pot

This is a small white enamelled cast iron pot from Le Creuset. We looked but were not able to see the lid nearby, shame. It is more or less unused.

Le Cruest Pot
 

2021-04-27 French Pan

An enamelled cast iron pot marked only with the word "France" underneath. It is most probably new and unused, there was the trace of a price sticker on it on one side. This is probably trying to be like a Le Creuset.

2021-04-27 Felt Bike

This Felt Cafe 24 bike was tossed into a scrap metal facility and then mangled a litte by a bucket loader or some such. It got a little tangled with other junk. We managed to extract it and once home we put replaced the front wheel, bars, stem, seat post and seat from spares to get it back straight enough to ride.

Felt Bike

It came out pretty nice considering the situation it was in.

 

2021-04-07 Samsung Flat Screen

This is a Snow Joe litium ion battery snowblower. Or, more accurately, it is a snowblower shaped object. The battery was not far off fully charged when we dound it, everything works fine.

Snowblower

We suspect the reason for discard is that this thing probably does not work when the snow is more that a couple of inches deep, and even them only in the loosest definition of "work".

 

2021-02-17 Trek 520 Bike

This Trek 520 is a pretty nice bike. We are never sure exactly what genre of bike this would be, but it is a road bike with cantilever brakes. Touring? Whatevere, it is a pretty nice machine.

Trek 520 Bike
 

2021-02-13 Roomba

A iRobot Roomba, apparently this is some form of mechanical pet that wanders around your house and keeps you company, or annoys you or something. We do not yet know if it functions properly but the small swivel wheel was clogged with hair and not turning properly, possibly reason for discard for really clueless people. We shall see.

Roomba
 

2021-01-23 Stanley Knife

A random Stanley knife lying by the side of the road. Comes with a good blade and a spare stored inside. All very nice.

Stanley Knife
 

2021-01-21 700C Wheel

A random 700C rear wheel, it seems to be straight but the bearing is a touch loose. We will fix that and clean it up for spares.

700C Wheel
 

2021-01-20 Enamelled Dog Bowl

A random enamelled dog bowl that we grabbed for friend who has both a dog and mild obsession with enamelware.

Enamelled Dog Bowl
 

2021-01-16 Bosch MX25E Multitool

A Bosch oscillating multitool thingy. Just sitting there in the scrap metal looking all lonely. The blade is missing a few teeth but it works fine.

Bosch MX25E Multitool
 

2021-01-13 700C Tires

A couple of random 700C x 45 or so tires. They are part worn but in good shape.

700C Tires
 

2021-01-08 Bontrager Rear Wheel

A random Bontrager 700C rear wheel. Numerous others present, and probably usable but having arcane disk mounts and such makes them less useful. This one is perfectly straight and functional, may be replacement takeoff.

Bontrager Wheel
 

2021-01-07 Trek Kids Bike

This Trek kids mountain-ish bike clearly has the reason for discard of super bent front wheel. So bent in fact that the tire fell off. No matter, we have 24 inch front wheels in stock.

Trek Kids Bike

Update: Front wheel from spares installed, bike now has a new home and presumably happy rider.

 

2021-01-06 Huffy Beach Cruiser

It is nice to take a walk in the evening to survey the discards in various places. One such place is a bike shop where they often have take-off tires, or maybe even a wheel that we can salvage and reuse.

Tonight they had this Huffy Beach Cruiser. Technically it is a bike shaped object, but as are all modern beach cruisers. If we rehome this to somebody who rides a around for a while this summer, we will consider that a victory against the two forces of mindless consumerism and chaos.

Huffy Beach Cruiser
 

2021-01-02 Cadillac Bikes

Two Cadillac bikes. They have been ridden a fair bit and then neglected, but we can put them back on the road. One of them has the NYC lock on the handlebars there so some angle grinder action will be warranted.

Cadillac Bikes
Cadillac Bikes

Never fear, they are only temporarily upside down.

 

2020-12-30 Milk Jug

A random stainless steel milk jug. No apparent reason for discard, we don't have a use for it so is available.

Milk Jug
 

2020-12-29 Wire Shelf

A random knockoff shelff in the style of Metro wire shelving. Nothing special, totally functional, but only in conjunction with a bunch of other items.

Wire Shelf
 

2020-12-29 Cutters

These are HK Porter cutters of some kind. Maybe for cutting heavy gauge stranded wire. They kind of look like they would function as loppers. They seem a bit sloppy and it may be that they are not functional, but good for a tinker. I think there is a spring missing.

Cutters
 

2020-12-26 Bikes

Three random bikes, more properly "bike shaped objects". Each has some sort of issues. At least two will be fixed and back in service soon enough we think.

Bikes

Two are folding "mountain bikes". The black Columbia folder in the foregound has one pedal mount in the crank reamed out. Highly indicative of user error and the probable reason for discard.

 

2020-12-22 KitchenAid Mixer

A nice green KitchenAid mixer. It runs fine and there is nothing really wrong with it, but I think when the previous owner threw it into the scrap metal it got scratched up. Damaged upon discard, one might say. No bowl, no implements and one plastic knob missing.

KitchenAid Mixer
 

2020-12-22 Bontrager Tyres

A couple of Bontrager 700x32 tires is almost new condition, obviously take-off for an upgrade of some form. They are quite nice and will enable the rescue of some bike in the future.

Bontrager Tyres

P.S. I can't spell Bontrager.

 

2020-12-18 Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

Another nice Lodge cast iron skillet. It is not in bad shape at all, but it may need a recure. It has harsh casting lines we may also shave off.

Misfit BMX Bike

Mousover for the before and after look, it is sanded down and recured.

 

2020-12-15 Schwinn Bike Carcass

This Schwinn Frontier bike is pretending to be a mountain bike. It is obviously missing a seat and seat post, but also has a crunched frame. Luckily, it has scarce parts on it we can use on other bikes.

Schwinn Bike Carcass
 

2020-12-14 Mongoose Bike

A Mongoose XR-75 "mountain bike". Technically this is a bike-shaped object, but somebody should want it so it will get a check over and a new home will be found for it.

Mongoose Bike
 

2020-12-14 Handlbars

Some random Salsa cycles bike handlebars. They are going onto the spare shelf in case they are needed at some future time.

Handlbars
 

2020-12-13 Bonntrager Tyre

We got a random wheel with the hub guts removed, but the disk and this nice Bonntrager tire were present and correct and ready to salvage.

Bonntrager Tyre
 

2020-12-13 Bob Jogger

A random Bob jogger with swivel front wheel. The fabric is grubby, that that cleans up nicely. It has some nasty rust on the folding guides and some of the fittings. It is still a quite functional device though so after a good clean and some air in the tyres it should be able to find a new home.

Bob Jogger
 

2020-12-05 Metro Wire Shelving

Some random wire shelves, nothing we need right now so we shall find a home for them.

Metro Wire Shelving
 

2020-11-22 Workbench Legs

A pair of somewhat industrial and seemingly usable workbench legs. Somebody we know will want these.

Workbench Legs
 

2020-11-22 Screwdriver

A random large screwdriver. Not in wonderful shape but it has cleaned up OK and now resides in the drawer full of screwdrivers.

Screwdriver
 

2020-11-20 Bike Tyres

Some random 700x25 bike tyres with tubes. They are a little old but unworn, should be good for some future bike that needs a cheap tyre fix.

Bike Tires
 

2020-11-14 Nishiki Pueblo

A random small BMX sized bike with gears. Nice condition now, but needed tires and a tuneup.

Nishiki Pueblo
 

2020-11-14 Glass

A Sam Adams Grumpy Monk beer glass. The grumpy monk and the little gold line around the top allow us to use this glass as part of being a real stick in the mud.

Glass
 

2020-11-14 Coleman Pump

This is a random crappy little pump for inflating air mattresses, but it works and we sometimes have need for such a thing so it will be retained for use.

Coleman Pump
 

2020-11-14 Boos Block

An upside down Boos Block chopping board. Large size, in OK shape. We will give it a scrape and clean and see what we want to do with it. Possibly available if somebody reading this wishes to inquire.

Boos Block
 

2020-11-13 Baby Jogger City Mini

A random Baby Jogger City Mini showed up in the rain, as you can see here. yet to be fully inspected but it seems in used but usable condition.

Baby Jogger City Mini
 

2020-11-08 Enamelled Tin

A random enamelled tin with some small chips. If a certain friend of ours does not want this we will use it for parts washing and other dirty duties in the basement.

Enamelled Tin
 

2020-11-08 Dell Inspiron 620

This random slim form factor Dell Inspiron 620 PC is a quad core 3.3 GHz with 6G RAM. Usable, but no HD present. Luckily there is a reasonably large supply of people out there who need stuff like this, and presumably one of them will be happy to come by and exchange it for a small amount of cash.

Dell Inspiron 620
 

2020-11-02 Weeride Copilot

The Weeride Copilot is just another trailer bike thingy for kids. Probably even something else we have had before but rebranded. Whatever, works fine, in good condition, and will find a new home on the list of craig.

Weeride Copilot
 

2020-10-27 Sugiyama Bike

This random Sugiyama single speed bike was found by a friend. The blue tyres are perishing and cracking pretty badly, clearly they are a quite inferior compound.

Sugiyama Bike

It is crappy enough to possibly qualify as a bike shaped object. But maybe because it has fewer moving parts, being a single speed, it might be a little more viable.

It looks pretty choochy though, and will probably sell.

 

2020-10-21 Impact Gun

A random 1/2 inch drive pneumatic impact gun. It does spin up, but it feels kind like a sloppy jalopy, so we suspect it cannot bring the torque. We may try it but even if bad it will be fun to dismantle for educational purposes.

Impact Gun
 

2020-10-17 Vacuum Filter

A new in the box filter for a handheld vacuum cleaner, a model we happen to have. How fortuitous.

Vacuum Filter

Update: Installed in the vacuum as it was probably about time.

 

2020-10-17 Toro Lawn Mower

A random dusty Toro lawn mower showed up in the scrap metal. There was fuel in the tank so we gave it a pull, started on the second try. The rule is, if it starts we have to take it.

Toro Lawn mower

Somebody will want it.

 

2020-10-17 Three Candles

Three red candles. Unfortunately not four candles.

Three Candles
 

2020-10-17 Therm-a-rest

A random therm-a-rest sleeping mat. Comes with the bag as you can see. It is not the most convenient to use but we will test it out and see if we want to keep it.

Therm-a-rest
 

2020-10-17 Storage Bin

A floppy woven storage bin, just what we needed having cleaned out some closets and reorganized somewhat.

Storage Bin
 

2020-10-13 Mountain Bike Tires

Two random mountain bike tires plucked from the garbage of one of the local bike shops. They will be great for bike that comes to us at some undetermined time in the future in need of tires.

Mountain Bike Tires
 

2020-10-10 Micro Scooter

One of those Swiss Micro scooter thingies. It had nasty hairballs around the axles slowing the wheels down, they were removed and the bearings lubricated. It also had on broken grip, we got a new pair for it.

Micro Scooter
 

2020-10-09 Dell Optiplex 380

A random Dell Optiplex 380 PC, no HD but functional otherwise as demonstrated by the knoppix running on it in the picture. We grabbed this because there seems to be demand for reasonable machines like this.

Dell Optiplex 380
 

2020-10-06 Giant Boulder

A Giant Boulder mountain bike missing the back wheel, as with so many bikes these days.

Giant Boulder

We had a wheel in stock that came from the trash a while ago, we trued it up. The tire and cluster were from used parts stock also, as was the rimtape. The tube was new, courtesy alibaba bulk order.

 

2020-10-06 Dell Optiplex Machines

A pile of Dell Optiplex PC machines. We took home five but there were a couple more left behind. Only one had any storage media in it, a nice SSD. This machine spent time in a law firm and had lots of interesting but boring documents on the drive. The specs are Quad i5 3.2Ghz with 4G RAM, so usable machines.

Dell Optiplex Machines
Dell Optiplex Machines

We may scrap one or two and consolidate the memory into the rest. As you see one was missing an optical drive.

 

2020-10-03 Schwinn Voyageur

This Schwinn Voyageur is a weird looking bike. It was found scattered across the scrap metal pile, missing the skewers, seat and seat post. It is now ridable, and a new 26.8mm seat post is in the mail. Lots of tuneup work on it left to do, cables and housings etc, but that is all little details once we have got to this stage.

Schwinn Voyageur

Once cleaned up it will much more shiny and somebody will want it.

 

2020-09-28 Bob Jogging Stroller

This Bob Revolution single jogger is in really nice shape. It was put out in the trash in a nearby town and picked up by a friend on the spot for other important business.

Bob Jogging Stroller
 

2020-09-26 Trek Mountain Lion

This Trek Mountain Lion is a random BMX sized bike that is trying to be more like a mountain bike. Whatever, a useful thing if you want your smallish offspring to learn how to ride with gears.

Trek Mountain Lion
 

2020-09-26 Raleigh Talus

This Raleigh Talus has a sad story behind it. It is almost new, and you might naively think the reason for discard is the seat being at the wrong angle. But no, the drive side crank has the pedal threads stripped out. This means that the clueless owners probably did not realise that the pedals are one left hand thread and one right hand thread. It might even be the case that this was from first assembly of a flat packed bike.

Raleigh Talus

We have spare cranks and pedals so whatever happens this will be fixed up and used.

 

2020-09-24 Cymbal Thingy

This cymbal stand is missing some stuff from the top, and we are not sure if it is useful to anybodym but the mechanism works fine. We do know multiple people who use drum equipment.

Cymbal Thingy
 

2020-09-23 Saw

A random hand saw, no name on it, not really any apparent use.

Saw

The most likely use for this is in teaching offspring to properly value the power tools we have now.

 

2020-09-23 Fiskars Shears

Some pretty nice Fiskars garden shears. They have a some force multiplier action and are in good shape with some light use on them. They will be cleaned and oiled for further use in our garden.

Fiskars Shears
 

2020-09-20 Dell optiplex 3010

A random usable Dell Optiplex dsktop PC, original setup here, could come in handy for somebody in these times increased virtual contact.

Dell optiplex 3010

No HD inside, so people are wising up on the data they discard, but we will put one in should we need to get it running. Tested on knoppix for now.

 

2020-09-18 Folding Stool

A random little folding stool, looks like it belongs to a drum kit or some such. Somebody might want it, but we do not.

Folding Stool
 

2020-09-12 Bose Speaker

A random Bose SoundLink Revolve Bluetooth® speaker. It is missing the little docking base, but we can charge it with USB and it works fine.

Bose Speaker
 

2020-09-09 Graco FastAction Fold Duo

A Graco FastAction Fold Duo stroller, what a mess of a name. It is in OK shape, has the same grab fold as the nice babyjogger models. After a clean we will try and find a new owner for it.

Graco FastAction Fold Duo
 

2020-09-07 Bonntrager Tyre

A random Bonntrager 700C tyre, tossed out by the local bike shop. Part worn, but that means part unworn also, will be good for fixing up a discarded bike at some point in the future.

Bonntrager Tyre
 

2020-09-05 Schwinn Deelite

A random Scwhinn Deelite, needed a tuneup on the brakes but is all ready to go. Nice tires for a kids bike.

Schwinn Deelite
 

2020-09-05 GE Dehumidifier

This random GE dehumidifier had some weird paint splats on it and was a little grubby, but it cleaned up fine and is currently trying to dehumidify the outdoors, as a test of whether it makes cold and condenses moisture. Complete with instructions.

GE Dehumidifier
 

2020-09-01 Specialized Bike Carcass

This Specialized Hardrock carcass showed up with a front wheel. We are short of bike parts right now so who knows what happen to it. It may or may not achieve ridable state.

Specialized Bike Carcass
 

2020-08-21 Soma Generation

This Soma Generation 5-speed bike has sat for while, rusting gently on a porch and in a garage. As a test of skill and ingenuity we made it safely ridable again with minimal change or cosmetic improvements. Et voila, it is rideable.

Soma Generation
 

2020-08-19 Baby Jogger City Mini

This City Mini is is good usable condition we think, it certainly needs a clean and some oil on certain parts but should be fine and pressed back into service with a suitanle new owmner.

Baby Jogger City Mini
 

2020-08-15 Homelite Chainsaw

A random Homelite chainaw. Not the best chainsaw in the world, but if you need to chop up some tree parts, and this is what you have, then this is sufficient.

Homelite Chainsaw
 

2020-08-12 Bob Jogger

A rather nice BOB singler jogger, well used but not abused and all ready for another lifetime of moving offspring around.

Bob Jogger

The colors look a little washed out in the image but it looks better IRL. Not sure why that is, we have weird diffuse but string sunlight from haze and clouds.

 

2020-08-10 UPS

This random little Cyberpower UPs seems to all be in order. I guess we will hook it up and discharge it through load to test it. Probably avilable or going to the list of craig.

UPS

Update: It works but the batteries are pretty poor, it only carried a load for 10 minutes or so. We may replace, or not.

 

2020-08-10 Samsung TV

Continuing the theme of post power outage TV discards, we have here another Samsung, this one model UN55F8000BF. Seems to work fine, as usual shown booting a Pi. It was $1,899.99 new, when it came out and has numerous features.

Samsung TV

There was yet another unit there that I looked at but when testing on the power available in the shed, I could not find the on button. It was some weird non-name brand. I did not bring it home but 50/50 it works.

 

2020-08-10 HDMI Cable

This HDMI cable clearly delivers superior signal due to the fancy braided cover over the main part of the cable. I can tell. Whatever, at present it seems to be sensible to have a few of these in stock, what with all the TVs and such we are cycling through.

HDMI Cable
 

2020-08-08 Flat Screens

It seems that where we live people tend to throw away perfectly good working flat screen TVs after a power cut. We are not sure why this is true.

First up some random Samsung 4K TV, maybe 50 inch or something. It was expensive and fancy when new and seems perfectly fine now. Shown here acting as a monitor for a Pi booting up.

Flat Screens

Also another Samsung, maybe 60 inch. This one is older, a plasma display. Basically it is a giant toaster, nobody should ever run one of these in their house, unless as a heating unit that incidentally has pixels. But why would I want my toaster to have an IP address, we hear the luddites wail. Well, to stream netflix is one answer.

Samsung TV

There is always a market for cheap big screens though, and in fact the second one is already sold on the list of craig. It was only up an hour.

 

2020-08-03 700C Tires

A assortment of 700C road bikes tires, part worn, but perfectly usable.

700C Tires

The ideal application for these is when one gets some random road bike from the trash and the gumwall tires have decayed to nasty crud. Quick upgrade for something like this, functionality and aesthetics are vastly improved at zero cost.

 

2020-08-01 Tripods

A selection of professional quality camera tripods and light stands. These were found by a friend and we have been using tripods more recently so we took one of them. The big one is a very fancy Manfrotto,we have the smaller tripod.

Tripods
 

2020-06-06 Raleigh Hybrid

A Raleigh Technium hybrid bike in somewhat neglected condition. It should clean up to be a good ridable machine but it might not ever excell in the shiny cosmestics department.

Raleigh Hybrid
 

2020-05-22 Putty Knife

A random broad-ish putty knife type implement. It was found "in a puddle". Not sure if we will use this but it could come in handy. I like the more flexible type.

Putty Knife
 

2020-05-01 Lenovo G550 Laptop

This random Lenovo G500 laptop had a completely dead hard drive in it. Not detected by Knoppix or anything. That seems like a pretty obvious reason for discard. No problem, we tossed in an old SSD from spares and put Windows 7 on it. It probably runs better now than it has ever done. Now going through a significant pile of patches.

Lenovo G550 Laptop

Probably available to anybody who needs it. Including people made known to use by the list of craig.

 

2020-04-27 Windscreen Wiper

This is clearly the other wiper from the pair, found by some enterprising young adventurers on a different outing. It was also in the box but now is not, as you can see.

Windscreen Wiper
 

2020-04-25 Hole Saw

A Lennox hole saw with arbor and a nice light application of rust. The hole saw is shown after cleanup and the arbor untouched.

Hole Saw

This arbor is a shitty cheapo model with no engagement dogs, so we will toss it. But the hole saw has better teeth than the existing model we have of exactly this size, so that is good.

 

2020-04-23 Windscreen Wiper

A random Rain-X brand windscreen wiper, new in the package. No idea if this fits any car we have access to, but we know somebody who has access to lots more cars.

Windscreen Wiper
 

2020-04-17 Lenovo Helix

Not sure where we got this thing, castoff or discard of some kind. It is a Lenovo ThinkPad Helix tablet laptop hybrid thingy. Anyway, in order to test it we grabbed a new power supply on ebay and booted it up. Sort of works OK, but it is hard to know if something that run Windows 8 is working or not.

Lenovo Helix

It is branded ThinkPad and UltraBook and all sorts of stuff. Very confusing.

 

2020-04-14 Henckels Steak Knife

A random Henckels steak knife. Weirdly it was found in a river, but right by a garbage dump. Difficult to know how it ended up there but it was salvaged and cleaned up and has already been used to consume multiple dinners.

Henckels Steak Knife
 

2020-03-15 A 2x4

A random brand new piece of 2x4 lumber. We often need one or two of these so having a nice straight one in stock is good.

A 2x4
 

2020-03-01 Toyota Reciever

New in the box and unused Toyota receiver setup. We may have a friend who may need this but if not then off to the list of craig to find a new owner.

Toyota Reciever
 

2020-01-04 Giant Rincon

Giant Rincon SE mountain bike with nice road tyres on it. Ding in the frame and needs a tuneup but probably just fine to ride after a spot of work.

Giant Rincon
 

2019-11-16 Knives

A selection of random knives, not top of the line but all sharp and worth using, should one need such implements. Available.

Knives
 

2019-10-13 Knobs

A bunch of drawer or cupboard knobs. They seem pretty nice, and should be handy if one were to need a set.

Knobs
 

2019-10-12 Wooden Coathangers

Some nice wooden coathangers, handy for people who hang their clothes up.

Wooden Coathangers
 

2019-10-12 Trek MT220

A pink Trek MT220 mountain-sj bike clearly targeted towards girls, all seems fine modulo a quick tuneup.

Trek MT220
 

2019-10-12 Tape Measure

A New York City Transit Police branded pocket tape measure that has both inches and centimeters. Interesting indeed.

Tape Measure
 

2019-10-12 Scotts Fertilizer

Scotts Step4 lawn fertilizer or some such. We are not sure of the precise details of what this is or when to use it, beyond the vague notion of a lawn being involved, but we or somebody we know will use it.

Scotts Fertilizer
 

2019-10-12 Raleigh M40

A random neglected Raleigh M40 ladies mountain bike. Needs a clean, some air, some adjustment on the brakes but is otherwise fine and good to go.

Raleigh M40
 

2019-10-12 Phil and Ted Verve

A sort of nice Phil and Ted Verve stroller with lots of bits and pieces. We think it is all present and correct but it needs checking and a light clean.

Phil and Ted Verve
 

2019-10-12 Melita Grinder

A small Melita Coffee grinder complete with box. We have one like this that has suffered some breakge on the cap, so this might replace that items in the kitchen.

Melita Grinder
 

2019-10-12 Giant Bella

Giant Bella, some sort of kids bike. Had a broken rivet on the front mudguards, duly fixed and tested and tuned up and ready to go.

Giant Bella
 

2019-10-12 GT Bike

This is a random GT city cruiser bike with a belt drive. It certainly needed a tuneup when we got it and had some rusty bolts here and there but it has now cleaned up pretty nicely. The pic is of it in initial condition.

GT Bike

This is a pretty fancy bike, the frame is super light and it is nice to ride.

 

2019-10-12 Chicco Keyfit Caddy

This is just a stroller frame made by Chicco but for some reason they felt the need to brand it the "Keyfit Caddy". Never mind the name, should be handy for somebody.

Chicco Keyfit Caddy
 

2019-10-12 Baby Jogger City Select

This is a pretty fancy Baby Jogger double City Select. It is seemingly missing the basket underneath and needs a clean but it has a car seat and some attachments and such. We will see what this looks like when cleaned up and checked out.

Baby Jogger City Select
 

2019-10-12 Baby Jogger City Mini

Yet another Baby Jogger City Mini, this one is slightly grubby and in need of a clean and a tuneup. Should be quite presentable and usable when done though.

Baby Jogger City Mini
 

2019-10-12 BTwin Laufrad

A walking bike thingy from Decathlo's house brand for bikes, BTwin. We suspect this was carried to these shored by somebody who moved house. They were probably francophones.

BTwin Laufrad
 

2019-09-22 Ryobi Bench Grinder

This showed up in a dumpster and a friend grabbed it. He has one so it was dropped off with us We have one so we will rehome it, in whatever form that takes.

Ryobi Bench Grinder
 

2019-09-14 Schwinn Ranger

A random Schwinn Ranger bike that looks like it is targeted towards teenage girls or some such. No matter, a quick clean up and it is ready for a new rider.

Schwinn Ranger
 

2019-09-14 Extension Cable

A 40 foot extension cable. It is nice nd flexible rubber sheathed 16/3. The whole thing was filthy and muddy when we got it. The plugs were kind of nasty so we trashed those and will put new ones on at some point. Or we may use sections of this to upgrade power tools.

Extension Cable
 

2019-06-29 Homelite Trimmer

A string trimmer made by Homelite. It start and runs but when you take off the choke it dies within about 20 seconds. I suspect it just needs the jets cleaning.

Homelite Trimmer
 

2019-06-29 Giant Boulder

No, not a larger rock on the landscape, but a bike made by the Giant brand for which they chose the model name Boulder. Piece of junk, toasted front tube, but easy enough for us to fix for somebody who wants a super cheap bike.

Giant Boulder
 

2019-06-23 Uppababy Vista

Uppababy Vista stroller. Seems to be in OK shape but needs a clean.

Uppababy Vista
 

2019-06-23 Kelty Kids Rucksack

Another fine looking Kelty Kids rucksack. Found by the same friend who found the BOB today.

Kelty Kids Rucksack
 

2019-06-23 Graco Frame

Graco stroller frame, yet another. I guess part of click connect system or soemthing.

Graco Frame
 

2019-06-23 BOB Stroller

A nice look BOB jogger with fancy car seat attachment. Picked up by a friend but will showcase his sensible work here. He now has one BOB stroller for each offspring.

BOB Stroller
 

2019-06-22 Trek 720

Trek 720 small frame hybrid bike. Rear wheel was very bent, so we swapped on a new one, gave it a clean up and it is ready to go.

Trek 720
 

2019-06-22 Giant Innova

A Giant Innova. No, this is not some sort of large weird statistical analysis, but a bike. Rusty handledars replaced and some cleanup and it is ready to go. Pic was from before the cleanup.

Giant Innova
 

2019-06-22 Compressor

A Campbell Hausfeld Power Pal compressor. Kind of weird, but could be useful.

Compressor
 

2019-06-15 Shaper

This is a Rockwell wood shaper, or maybe a table router. You put router bits and other cutter head in there and pass wood over it to change the profile. It is heavy and old and it works fine. The surface rust will clean up. We are looking for a home for this amongst friends.

2019-06-15 Delta Stroller

A low end random Delta stroller. No idea who Delta are and whether this is any good but it should not languish in the waste stream and should be given a chance to be useful again.

A randomly named Britax B-Agile stroller. Seems to be all present and correct, maybe needs a clean.

2019-06-15 Band Sander

This is a tabletop belt sander, or band sander. It takes a 80 by 2.25 inch belt. It works fine but I cannot figure out who made it. We may give it a light restoration and use it as it or rebuild it into a vertical belt grinder.

Band Sander

Update: We ended getting a nice belt grinder from other sources so we sold this.

 

2019-06-09 Trek MT220

Kids size Trek MT220 mountain bike, 24 inch wheels. This was in really sparkling condition except for one missing hand grip and a worn and flat rear tyre. We think the kid who rode this just spent a few days doing rear wheel skids and then tossed it. Either way, easy fixes, tuned up and ready for some offspring to ride. Already tested.

2019-06-09 Maclaren Pushchair

Yet another Maclaren Quest pushchair. Some damage to the foam hand grips but otherwise in very good condition. Cleaned and ready to go.

Maclaren Pushchair

New foam grips are available pretty reasonably from Maclaren, it turns out.

 

2019-06-09 Kid Car Seat

This is a Sunshine Kids car seat. They are interesting in that while being very safe and functional they are incrementally narrower than most other comparable cars seats. Super handy if you have a smaller car or are trying to get 3 people in the back seat.

2019-06-02 Uppababy Vista

Uppababy Vista frame with bassinet attachment. Bassinet is in very good shape, the wheels might have an issue though. Worth fixing and rehoming, these are nice devices.

2019-06-02 Teutonia Stroller

Teutonia T-Linx stroller, kind of fancy and modern. In perfect condition, good for a new small human to wriggle around in.

2019-06-02 Shelving

One metro wire style shelf, this is a knockoff we think but still useful.

2019-06-02 Mountain Buggy Swift

Mountain Buggy Swift single jogging/outdoors stroller. Pretty nice but has some wheels attachment/bearing issues. Worth fixing we think.

2019-06-02 Graco Fastaction

Graco Fastaction Fold Duo, what a bloody mouthfull of a name. This is transparently trying to rip off the Baby Jogger pull to fold mechanism. It is clearly lower quality and the hoods have a tenuous attachment mechanism. This thing touts membership of the Graco "quick connect system" family of offspring movement devices, could be useful, who knows. Either way we will be finding a new home for it.

2019-06-02 Charcoal

Two bags of BBQ charcoal, randomly tossed out. Each more than half full. We are getting the feeling that there is a safety recall out about this product, has been known to catch fire or some such.
