2009-05-21 Bouncer

These baby bouncer things are often crappy but there maybe be a critical transsition period in the life of an 'orrible offspring where they can use this effectively. It functions as an inadvertant imprisonment and amusement device.

2009-05-20 Fan Unit

This fan is the sort of thing one might use for drying out floors in basements or generally circulating air in spaces. It works fine and has been lodged in a friend's custody for now. He seems particularly keen that we mention that he now has it, maybe being mentioned like this is fame enough for him?

2009-05-19 Raleigh M20

This Raleigh M20 mountain-ish bike was missing a couple of pieces off the rear derailleur and the rear tyre. Spares from stock and it is reassembled and ready to go. It is still a piece of junk though.

2009-05-16 Shuttle PC

A 2.8Ghz Shuttle PC with 2G RAM and no HD. It has a fancy nVidia video card in it and seems to sort of run knoppix. More investigation to follow.

Further investigation reveals that it works fine. It has on board video so if it gets deployed to a certain task the nVidia will become spare parts. As this text is being written it is getting a test install of Ubuntu on it.

2009-05-16 Schwinn Caliente

This Schwinn Caliente bike is pretty junky and has some issues. We cleaned up a bunch of stuff and replaced some parts. The pic shows it halfway through this process, the front half of the bike is spiffy while the rear is still looks rusty crusty. When finished it will be an item coveted by numerous hipsters, we hope. But it will still be crap quality.

2009-05-16 Lawn Mower

This fairly new push lawn mower was procured to order. The blade seems nice and tight, it cuts fine, it rolls, Monika?

2009-05-16 Extension Cable

This orange extension cable is about 80 feet long and has a missing ground pin on the plug. A new plug will be procured and installed. A handy thing.
