2009-11-28 Assorted Bikes

This random assortment of crappo bikes was gathered over the last week or so and is finding a new home as a batch with a nice chap who presumably intends to fix them up etc. This is a good thing, we do not have the time or inclination to return all of these to working condition and it seems that Fritz (the chap in question) does. This is the third batch of bikes he has bought off us.

2009-11-21 Lawn Mower

This lawn mower showed up just after some friends bought their first house. That is all jolly fine, it is a bit off-season for mowing the lawn but it should come in handy next year. It got a wash and some oil in the bearings and then we set the blade a little closer.

2009-11-15 Snorkeling Mask

This snorkeling mask is sized for smallish offsprings and seems to be in very nice condition. In fact it has been worn for substantial periods around the house alrady so even if they never use it underwater it has amused them enough to justify its rescue.

2009-11-15 Kids Bikes

This small batch of smallish bikes was assembled in the last week or so and will be deployed to acquaintances or sold off. Too much inventory on the bike front is not good over the winter.

Update: This batch was sold off to a nice chap named Fritz.

2009-11-15 Instep Trailer-Bike

This is yet another trailer bike, this one branded Instep. Presumably it is made by somebody else but it will be serviced and deployed or sold as required.

2009-11-15 Ikea Banana

This Ikea banana style cushion thingy is some kind of semi-structural toy device. We washed the cover and deployed it so that offspring could play with it while the grandparents watched over video chat. Intergenerational happiness abounds.

2009-11-15 Glass Cups

This random almost a set of octagonal glass cups and saucers is not something we would use a lot but is does seem to rather fit the style of Feuerzangenbowle. They shall be tested in this role as soon as we set light to come booze in our living room.

2009-11-14 Panasonic Bike

This Panasonic DX1000 road bike seems in OK shape except for air in the tyres and some dirt. It will be cleaned up and stored for springtime hipster bike mania.

2009-11-14 Offspring Entertainment Infrastructure

A selection of items around which offspring entertainment can be deployed tuyrned up. First a random box with letters on it, you know it is educational and therefore socially acceptable if you print some letters on it! Whatever, this is handy for storing junk.

2009-11-14 Lego

This is a pretty large Lego set, exo-force, whoever those guys are. Seems like a cheesy ripoff of Stargate but who can tell. Either way, good stuff and shall be used at some stage.
