2016-09-22 Cast Iron Pan

This is an enameled cast iron pan from some manufacturer called Technique. It was discarded as new in the scrap metal. We cleaned the dust off, oiled up the porcelain surface and rehomed it within a day or two. A nice pan but we did not need it.

2016-09-04 Trek Jetta

A Trek Jetta limited edition mountain bike. This is pretty nice bike and has not really been ridden. Hence reason for discard seems to be negelected in a garage for the last 10 years or so. Small tuneup items like oil on moving parts and a new rear inner tube have put it back in tip top riding shape. It awaits a new home on the list of craig.

One has to assume it was some form of collaboration with VW, given the name and the logo. Not sure whether these were sold to the public at large.

2016-09-04 Phil And Ted Twin

This Phil and Ted e3 twin, or some such, is a substantial offspring moving device. We have never played with a side-by-side Phil and Ted twin like this. The this is pretty nice but has been used hard and beat up a little, not really a valid reason for discard but that might be in the mind of the previous owner. It all pretty much works now, a few drops of oil and some cleaning.

Update: Happily snappd up by somebody from the list of craig.

2016-09-03 Pick Axe

A random newish pick axe. nothing wrong with it. A friend that happened to be in town was looking for one so everybody was happy, they got a pick axe, we rescued one from the scrap metal. We think that the reason for discard was, we have planted that bush now and don;t need this any more.

2016-09-03 Haro Bike

A Haro mountain bike thingy. It was used a bit but not too much. Noodles and a few bolts were rusted. We immediately rehomed this with a friend so we did a spiffy tuneup job to make it all work smoothly before handing it over.

2016-09-03 Babytrend Expedition

Yet another Babytrend Expedition jogging stroller. Small rip in the fabric, which we do not acknowledge as a genuine reason for discard, and otherwise pretty shiny and functional.

2016-08-13 Raleigh Record

A pretty nice Raleigh Record. Some of the parts were in in rough shape but a few swaps from spares and some cleaning has made it into a nice bike.

2016-07-20 Spooge Gun

One reasonably good large format spooge gun. It even had a tube of liquid nails in there, or some such. This will come in handy at some point when we need to spooge a lot of stuff into crevices.

2016-07-18 Stanley Spirit Level

This Stanley spirit level was a little crudded up when we got it but a nice scrape clean and wipe and it is good to go. It even appears to be spot on in accuracy. We needed one this length 6 months ago but were reluctant to buy one knowing that one would show up in the trash, and here we go.

2016-07-16 Jamis Capri

Jamis Capri bike with derailleur gears. Not exactly sure what style this is, it is clearly something like a beach cruiser with gears and generally more functional. Whatever, somebody will want to ride it. Was poorly set up when we found it, now somewhat better adjusted. We suspect incorrect initial customer assembly might be the reason for discard. This is somewhat common.

2016-07-11 Child Seat

A random Britax Car seat in good order.

2016-07-09 Babytrend Strollers

Matching items, presumably from the same source, certainly pretty much brand new. First a Babytrend Expedition jogging stroller. Pretty spiffy.

Also a Babytrend Snap-and-go stroller frame thingy.

It is possible this is the discarded hardware version of the short story "For sale: baby shoes, never worn".

2016-06-27 Infant Backpack

A Tough Traveller back for moving small whiny offspring around. Seems all present and correct, but detailed inspection awaits.

2016-06-27 Babytrend Jogger

Yet another Babytrend Expedition double jogging stroller. Small tear in the fabric, some yucky black water inside the frame and lots of mud all over. Otherwise should be fine after a good clean. A functional east to fold way to move two offspring around.

Pic shows it after initial hose down.

2016-06-26 Topeak Seat Rack

This came with a Topeak bike seat but it was really beat so we just took the rack. It is common enough to find the seat without the rack that it is worth it.
