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

Babyjogger City Mini
 

2021-08-12 Deltawing

A larger sized deltawing scooter-ish device than we have had so far. Interesting. Presumably the offspring will test it out and pass judgement.

Deltawing
 

2021-08-07 Dell Desktop

Dell Studio XPS 6 core machine with 12G RAM. No storage included, but somebody will want this for parts or building up.

Dell Desktop
 

2021-08-06 Bonntrager Tires

A pair of random Bonntrager 700C road bike tires. They are not very worn, probably take-off for an upgrade or some such. Whatever, good to have replacemtns in our parts portfolio.

Bonntrager Tires
 

2021-08-03 Ryobi Scroll Saw

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.

Ryobi Scroll Saw
 

2021-07-28 Bike Wheel and Tire

A 700C bike wheel, seems all straight and good to ride, with a matching tire and also a random mountain bike tire. Will be stored aways for use as spares.

Bike Wheel and Tire
 

2021-07-27 Trek Bike Frame

This random Trek bike frame was in the garbage behind a bike shop. We would suspect there was something wrong with but so far we cannot see any cracks or damaged threads or whatever.

Trek Bike Frame
 

2021-07-24 Praxis Works Crank

A random Praxis Works crankset. The teeth are a little worn and I have no idea if there is anything really wrong with it, but it will go in the parts bin or be sold.

Praxis Works Crank
 

2021-06-12 Swivel Stool

A swivel stool with backrest. Quite vintage and apparently property of the US Navy. We will use this at our kitchen bar.

Swivel Stool

Here is the little identifier plate on the back.

Swivel Stool
 

2021-05-29 Power Strip

This is a nice little power strip. It has a reasonably long cable on it with a right angled plug, super handy. It may be pressed into service for our small fleets of pi devices on the server shelf.

Power Strip

Update: Now in use for a small pi server farm.

 

2021-05-24 Cast Iron Muffin Tray

A cast iron muffin tray thingy, in pretty nice shape. The pic shows it after a quick smoke with some canola oil on it to get it nice and coated.

Cast Iron Muffin Tray
 

2021-05-23 Schwinn Beach Cruiser

A random Schwinn beach cruiser bike. Some rust here and there but after air in the tyres is rideable, such that one ever actually rides a beach cruiser.

Schwinn Beach Cruiser
 

2021-05-12 Bike Wheel

700C rear wheels, Canonndale hub, small ding in the rim, otherwise straight It is probably salvagable/usable.

Bike Wheel
 

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.

French Pan
 

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 random Samsung flatscreen has bad backlights on one half. It is probably fixable and we may look into that. Or we may just give it away to somebody whose time/money tradeoff is different to ours.

Samsung Flat Screen
 

2021-04-06 Switch Surrounds

A random pile of stainless steel switch surrounds of various types. Somebody may have a use for these.

Switch Surrounds
 

2021-03-13 Graco Ready2Grow

A Graco Ready2Grow stroller. It is a cross between a DuoGlider style and a Sit-and-stand with lots of options for configuration. It probably works fine, but seems a little complex. Whatever, it has been rescued from the scrap metal and will now find a new home somewhere.

Graco Ready2Grow
 

2021-03-13 Bike Racks

These two bike seat racks showed up together, the seats were not present but spare racks are often handy.

Bike Racks
 

2021-02-20 Snowblower

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shaper
 

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.

Delta Stroller
 

2019-06-15 Britax B-Agile

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

Britax B-Agile
 

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 Phil and Ted Double

A nice purple Phil and Ted double stroller, seem all present and correct but needed a good clean. A touch old but quite functional.

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.

2019-06-09 Graco Sit-n-Stand

A random Graco Sit-n-stand style stroller, not super special but somewhat useful. It will be cleaned and made available for re-use.

2019-06-09 City Elite

A Babyjogger City Elite stroller. This is an older model but in very good consition and it has that killer fold mechanism that make this series of joggers so handy. Ready for a new home.

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.

Shelving
 

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.

Mountain Buggy Swift
 

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.

Graco Fastaction
 

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.

Charcoal
 

2019-06-01 Uppababy Cruz

One Uppababy Crtuz stroller, initially in slightly grubby condition but as you can see in the picture, an outbreak of cleanliness is happening.

2019-06-01 Shogun Bike

This was a Shogun road bike with drop bars that got converted at some time to hybrid style. It is pretty nice and in very good condition and will seek a new rider on the list of craig.

A "Pasadena Popper" popcorn machine. This was rescued by friends who spent a while cleaning it, as you can see in this cheesy before and after shot.
