2008-07-05 Puters

A brace of Dell Pentium 4 PC machines. First one a 2.66Ghz, 75G HD, missing the memory. On the HD was a completely fresh install of XP waiting for first boot config etc.

Next a Pentium 4 Dell, very similar but better motherboard ( more ram slots and better graphics setup). Some Notes:

2008-07-05 Joggers

A Babytrend double jogger in near perfect condition. It needed air in the tyres and a further application of compressed air to blow the dust off. It does not even have the sticky folding mechanism that is so common on these models, though we oiled it up anyway so as to be ready for several years service after we sell it to the nice people shortly to be introduced to us by the list of craig. It seems it had never been set up correctly as the brake quick release was in the open position and was not closable without cable adjustment. Fixed now.

Further, a Babyjogger double in fine shape. This one is more of a pain to fold but has aluminium wheels and frame etc. The air was still in the tyres so it just needed a wash to be ready for its new owner. Horror film style pic here for now, check back soon for a better one?

Update from the future: Obviously we never fixed the picture

2008-07-02 Schwinn

A green Schwinn bike that, once cleaned up, looks respectable enough for a hipster. This was pulled from curbside by a friend who will be wined and dined at our expense once we sell this. See, reuse of garbage is a social catalyst as well as the correct thing to do.

2008-06-28 Trike

Random kiddy trike in perfect shape and all too ready to go into the breach that is offspring entertainment.

2008-06-28 Golf Stuff

A Golf bag, possibly of use to some friends of ours. We shall see next time they come over for Kasseler, maybe they will want this.

2008-06-28 Chair

A random plastic chair that happens to match those of friends of ours, hence it was acquired and dispatched off to their house. The fact that said friends we along for the ride helped of course.

2008-06-28 Car Seats

A veritable array of Britax kid seats for usage in newfangled automobiles. Those in the know will know what there is to know about Britax, i.e. they are pretty good. One has damaged insert, that will have the cover scavenged. A couple more are sort of too old, we may pull covers of them likewise. So far 3 have cleaned up to near perfect condition, ready for the list of craig or other usage. Note, not all of them are shown in this pic, the bench under the back row previously appeared on this page and is now rehabilitated enough to put into regular usage. No name yet.

2008-06-28 Bouncer

An offspring containment bouncer thingy. Comes with built in amusement plastic things. This again for aforementioned friend.

2008-06-24 Stroller

Some random Sit-n-stand stroller in OK shape. It is actually also a regular dual seated stroller so all very flexible etc. Destined for the list of craig we feel.

2008-06-24 Kids Bike

A random Huffy kids bike in pretty fine condition. The chain guard had embrittled so we broke that off and threw it away. Awaiting an appropriatly sized kid to come and draw blood on it.

2008-06-22 Tools

A plastic garbage can full of tools. Including sockets, ratchets, spanners (Craftsman), spark tester, hole saws, screwdrivers, marking bob, some files, brace, old stanley level, and all sorts of extra goodies.

Apart from all the loose hand tools there was also a Craftsman power sander, the pic is pretty self explanatory. Works fine.
