2005-09-24 Golf Bag

This was a request, a cheap light golf bag. Some golf courses do not let you play without a bag even if you have no clubs (i.e. sharing with somebody) and hence do not need a bag. This then is for a poor student type of my acquaintance who needs this bag to get on courses with his golfing acquaintances.

2005-09-24 Calphalon skillet

Calphalon commercial 10 inch frying pan with anodized finish, or omelet pan as they like to call it. So much more fancy with that name? Is in good shape and just needs a clean.

2005-09-16 Two pushchair thingies

Two Peg-Perego brand strollers, one a twin Tender model and the other a single Milano model. Both appear completish and only need a clean and look over. These may well be traded or sent off to the great marketplace that is ebay.

2005-09-16 Optima Battery

An Optima Red top battery. For a price check see here . These batteries are superior in several ways to regualr car batteries and I refuse to use anything but optimas. It looks newish and the sold-on date strip has not been punched out. That means that even if it is dead I can use the 3-year warranty to get a new one. Woohoo! Pic shows it charging, accepting 35amps:

Battery started out at 6.2V and currently is at 12.3V (with charger off of course). Will push a little more in and see if it stays n. Discharge test tomorrow maybe.

2005-09-16 Dell P4

A newish but low end Dell Pentium 4 PC. Specs: 1.7Ghz, 256M Ram, 40G HD, CDRW. It was rather dusty inside but worked fine and booted. Pic shows it open for ministrations from the shopvac and inspection. Note the special medical style wrapping I got on some VGA cables recently, I think they do that so I do not catch a virus from any machine I plug them into. Glad I have that!

Reason for discard seems to be marriage, i.e. the two parties involved pooled their computer infrastructure into one machine when moving in together. I think that other machine is a Mac based on the google searches I saw in the cache.

Other things:

• Primary user mostly used yahoo search, numerous queries seemed to be related to finding a job. If I get too detailed I will compromise her privacy quickly as she is quite specialized.
• A mere 175 mp3s, mostly classical and Tito Fuentes, am listening to them now
• Kazaa, from whence most of the aforementioned music presumably came.
• A bunch of word docs related to career, business, wedding etc.
• Lots of normal surfing stuff in the cache dirs, no porn though.
• Some surfing assistant style spyware
• A rare copy of The Cheeky Song by The Cheeky Girls. This is interesting because I had previously thought this music was so awful that very few copies existed in the wild on the western side of the Atlantic. It is still awful, but maybe less rare than I thought. End times are near.

This HD is notable in terms of it's lack of porn and some other things. No trace of digital camera use even.

2005-09-10 Jerry Can

A more or less brand new Jerry can. It was by the waste oil displosal and full of used engine oil. I promptly emptied it into the oil thingy and took it home and cleaned it out. It even still had the price sticker on it. Downside of course is that it is a US style jerry can as opposed to NATO standard style, and is somewhat of a cheap knockoff also. Oh well, I bet based on this shiny picture one of you will want it...

2005-09-10 Bertrand Russell

A nice little book by Bertand Russell. Could not leave that in the paper recycling, even though I think I already have this book.
