Nice pair of folding aluminium outdoor chairs with drinks trays on the side. They look little used, and in fact the fabric is not faded, just dusty. I am sure they will be employed at some riotous event in the woods someplace. Pic of one of them:

One large canal boat lamp that has a steel (as opposed to brass) body. It had a hack job electric conversion and body was very rusted hence I think it is not worth saving but the nice fresnel lens has cleaned up nicely. This may have to form some type of post-industrial artsy table lamp, to go with our galvanized pipe coffee table. Pic of it mostly cleaned:

Got 5 gallons of oil from the butcher that was nice and clear, filters well. Bought meat for the BBQ, they gave me the fuel for the truck, what a deal. Pic of the cardboard wrapper from the oil bottle for reference purposes.

Long hiatus there while I was off and about. Back to business with a small Craftsman 358 chainsaw that had a broken pull cord. Cord is now fixed and some attempts will be made to run the thing. Not a very useful thing though, too small, disposable chainsaw if you will as I am sure that one good session cutting oak would kill it off.

Found a restaurant with a small dumpster full of waste oil. Was maybe 6 feet by 2.5 feet and had a foot of oil in it. I make that about 400 litres, or around 100 gallons of fuel. I got 20 gallons first time hence have lots to look forward to. Quality was good, nice and thin and clear.
Found a pile of 5 old Mac laptops and a Newton, but decided not to take them as they were so super old and useless.
10 more gallons of oil from the drum I found earlier. There are maybe 5-10 more in there but it is getting more murky as I get further down.
