2009-12-19 Mongoose Mountain Bike

This is yet another random Mongoose Mountain Bike. It is not so bad but it needs some tuneup and a chain. It will probably be turned into a station bike or some such. Next year's summer students, this may be your trusty steed. Pig ugly bottle cage though.

2009-12-19 Grilly Thingy

This is a pierced stainless steel grill pan thingy that you plonk on the barbeque and do your salmon or veggies in, or some such. It has a delightful patina of brown grease stain on it but that will be coming off at the first chance. Since we found that mesh pan we may not need this but we will hang on to it until we get the chance to try it out. BBQ season where art thou?

2009-12-12 White Bikes

These two random bikes are almost unused. We are not exactly sure what brands they are but they seem to go together. They will be stored until spring and then cleaned up and sold off.

2009-12-12 Lego

This is about 20 pounds of Lego. It was just dumped in a large pile in the scrap metal dump. No box was nearby. We rescued five of the blue contai9niers from the plastics recycling at the same time so it was conmventient to press them into service.

2009-12-12 Britax Boosters

We piciked up two identical Britax Parkway booster seats. They were pretty filthy but we have already cleaned one up ready for eventual use. Here it is, all shiny and ready to go.

2009-11-28 Raleigh Bike

This random Raleigh 3-speed is pretty beat up but all its ailments seem pretty easily correctable. By next spring this will be a shiny vintage gem, ready to hold up a lazy hipster's arse.

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.
