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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Somebody will want it.

 

2020-10-17 Three Candles

Three red candles. Unfortunately not four 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.

2020-10-17 Storage Bin

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
