2006-09-09 Lego etc

One set of underwater technical lego, complete enough to be convincing. Seems fine. This was donated to some form of remote cousin, hopefully providing some small moment of childhood happiness.

Also a couple of sets of K'nex, well populated though obviously we have no idea of their completeness, should that even mean something with this product. Donated to yet another remote cousin, in fact a 1st cousin of the aforementioned remote cousin. Again, seemingly happiness ensued.

2006-09-09 Books

Some books, including but not limited to those in the picture below.

2006-09-09 Baby Seat Grab Bag

Lots of this is catching up with stuff we found a while ago, but certain readers have been nagging us to update here so off we go. Lots of baby seat stuff. For example here we see a brand new never been used Eddie Bauer infant seat. We offered this to a friend who has impending offspring and he informed us that his wife wishes to buy everything new. Well, this is new, just not bought by you? Whatever.

Further a couple of Evenflo seat bases, these are usually good for craigslist or some such.

Also an Evenflow complete baby seat, ready for use etc etc. Not seen much use hence it will be good for somebody at some stage.

2006-08-20 Non-ferrous redux

We finally amassed enough non-ferrous scrap to fill a military surplus missile resupply trailor and wandered down to trade it in for cash. A few hundred pounds of alu at 61c/lb, a hundred plus of brass at $1.30, a hundred plus of lead at 16c and a load of copper at $2.50. They issued us a handy little receipt to take to the front desk and they dished out several hundreds of dollars for us. Cool. They even unloaded the trailer for us with great dispatch, better service than one gets at many restaurants.

2006-08-10 Platform

A painting platform type thing, used for painting the ceiling or reaching into high places with better freedom of movement than on a ladder or chair. This was almost destined for scrap Al but we thought it would prove useful at some stage so gave it to a friend on condition we might borrow it at undertermined times in the future. Oh, and yes it is in fact new in the wrapping?!?

2006-08-05 Scooters

Visiting friends appear with their two genetically programmed terrorist offspring, what should one do to amuse them, we all say? Well it so happens that we found two nice alu scooters that were adjustable in such a way as to provide amusement devices for their age groups. "Engage!", we all cry and deploy the scooters in a frantic ploy to distract the monsters from tall buildings etc. Success........

2006-08-03 Hookah

Not especially special but there it was, all discarded and lonely. A silver hookah. It was promptly donated to one that might appreciate its charms.
