2005-01-29 Pipe Tools

Somebody tossed their pipe-fitting kit. I left the pipe threader (too primitive and rusty) and made off with the nice Ridgid Chain wrench, seen here before cleanup:

In addition I picked up their pipe vise, after a swift cleanup they both worked fine, vise seen here:

2005-01-20 Cast iron pan

Yet another cast iron pan, corrugated base even. This one has made its way to the house next door after testing and curing. No pic, but you know what it look like after the last one, see below.

2005-01-15 iMacs

A large selection of iMacs, cast off from some very well know TV show production crew. HDs wiped (kudos to them) but many (variously) functional machines present, one example shown booted and running:

2005-01-12 Scales

A Seca medical/bathroom style scale that seems to work and is fairly nice. This will henceforth be employed for ebay shipping weight determination and for assessing the mass of people as we did not, prior to this point, have such a device.

2005-01-10 Mac Keyboard

One nice white Mac keyboard. Previous owner stated that spillage of noxious acidic corn sugar laden liquid had terminated functionality of said device.

Quick cleanup and it worked fine, the one it replaced being genuine Apple (but without the numpad keys) it went to see Mr Ebay and returned useful cash.

2004-12-31 Kegs

Four stainless steel 40 pint soda kegs. I am not sure what you can do to make these things really useful (i.e. how you can use them for beer) but we shall see. Pic of one of them here about to celebrate new year:

Fine stuff.

2004-12-30 Mac Box

A very silly looking iBook 500Mhz box complete with styrofoam inserts and cardboard. There is no iBook inside of course but the idiocy of Mac users guarantees a return for the small investment of picking it up and carrying it home.
