2004-06-28 Motor Mounts

One pair of new-old-stock industrial electric motor mounts, in the original plastic bag with screws etc. These could be handy. Not even any rust on them despite the fact they are cast iron and unpainted.

2004-06-26 Micron 1Ghz

One Micron 1GHz desktop in complete working order with a working install of windows 2000. Comes with 10G HD, 126M of RAM, slot loader CD drive and Zipdrive (oh joy). Surprisingly clean install, in terms of spyware and data from previous owner. We of course now have his ISP and work logins and passwords.

2004-06-23 Mongoose Bike

Aforementioned seatless bike now has a seat. A rather dated peugeot racing bike graciously donated its seat. A quick squirt in each tyre from the compressor and a wipe all over with a WD40 soaked rag made the bike look rather shiny. And we all know that shinyness is what counts, n'est pas? I rode it round the garden a few times during SFW to do proof of concept work. Now that thing is officially looking for an owner. I do not want it. Pic of it in it's "canadian-rebuild" glory:

2004-06-23 Mac CDrom

One apple 24x laptop cdrom drive. I suspect it to be broken but we shall see. Also found an iMac recovery CD. I suspect some macHeads have been cleaning out.

2004-06-23 Garden Shears

One pair of garden shears, in somewhat better condition that the ones I used the other day on the long bits round the front lawn. A second pair were examined but had loose handles. Long conversation with Costa-Rican guys about volcanos.

2004-06-23 DIMM

One Gateway 32M PC100 memory dimm. Not much use but I will throw it in the next elligable PC that I overhaul. Image (I suspect) not of 32M dimm but found from GS for part number:

2004-06-21 Push Lawn Mower

One push lawn mower in slightly rusty but working condition, identical to previous push lawn mower
