A new in the box filter for a handheld vacuum cleaner, a model we happen to have. How fortuitous.
Update: Installed in the vacuum as it was probably about time.
A random dusty Toro lawn mower showed up in the scrap metal. There was fuel in the tank so we gave it a pull, started on the second try. The rule is, if it starts we have to take it.
Somebody will want it.
A random therm-a-rest sleeping mat. Comes with the bag as you can see. It is not the most convenient to use but we will test it out and see if we want to keep it.
A floppy woven storage bin, just what we needed having cleaned out some closets and reorganized somewhat.
Two random mountain bike tires plucked from the garbage of one of the local bike shops. They will be great for bike that comes to us at some undetermined time in the future in need of tires.
One of those Swiss Micro scooter thingies. It had nasty hairballs around the axles slowing the wheels down, they were removed and the bearings lubricated. It also had on broken grip, we got a new pair for it.
A random Dell Optiplex 380 PC, no HD but functional otherwise as demonstrated by the knoppix running on it in the picture. We grabbed this because there seems to be demand for reasonable machines like this.
A Giant Boulder mountain bike missing the back wheel, as with so many bikes these days.
We had a wheel in stock that came from the trash a while ago, we trued it up. The tire and cluster were from used parts stock also, as was the rimtape. The tube was new, courtesy alibaba bulk order.
A pile of Dell Optiplex PC machines. We took home five but there were a couple more left behind. Only one had any storage media in it, a nice SSD. This machine spent time in a law firm and had lots of interesting but boring documents on the drive. The specs are Quad i5 3.2Ghz with 4G RAM, so usable machines.
We may scrap one or two and consolidate the memory into the rest. As you see one was missing an optical drive.
