2016-06-26 Squeegee Broom

This broom had a broken off handle, obviously not a good reason for discard. That is fine, broom handles are everywhere. The interesting this is that it is a nice wide broom with a squeegee on the back, that is the yellow strip visible over the bristles. No idea if we will use it but it will get a new handle and we will try it out.

If we do fix that up, it is likely that we will replace the bolts with stainless. Making something better than new is a fine thing.

2016-06-26 Snap-n-Gos

Two Graco stroller frame devices, otherwise known as a Snap-n-go or some such. Pretty handy, people always want them. Found within 100 meters of each other on the curb. Much have been something in the air on that block.

2016-06-26 Hybrid Tire

A random 700C Continental hybrid tire. It is a little worn but it is a very nice bike tire. This will go into inventory and be pulled out to rescue some bike of marginal value somewhere down the line.

2016-06-26 Bertini Pushchair

A Bertini pushchair thingy with the funky four wheel passive steering. It is in pretty fine condition though this style is a very retro thing.

2016-06-26 Babytrend Sit-n-stand

A big Babytrend Sit-n-stand stroller thingy. It is missing a hood and such but is almost new. We will see what becomes of it.

2016-06-26 BOB Strollers

A couple of BOB jogging strollers. First a double, it is a little worn in various places but it will clean up to make a very functional offspring carriage device. It has a broken strut on one side, we will see how we deal with that.

Also, to complete the set maybe, a single BOB. This has badly damaged foam on the handle but is still worth fixing up. Road bike bar tape is one method. Whatever, we will appraise, take action and endeavour to get this thing under a horrible child's butt at some point.

It is certainly the week of BOB strollers.

2016-06-25 Wine Opener

A Champion branded corkscrew. The clamp is missing the little rotating pad thing but otherwise seems to be fine. Yet to be tested.

Available to anybody who needs it.

2016-06-25 Shopvac

A Shop Vac brand shopvac. Works fine, a bit dusty and messy.

We do not really need this but somebody will want it, store it in the basement for sucking up messes. It has crappy filtration but is wet/dry.

2016-06-25 Schwinn Frontier

This Schwinn Frontier bike was being tossed by some friends because it was a little junky and was shedding the rear tire. We have put it back on the road and will convert it into funds that will probably be allocated for mutual consumption of delicious things. A certain drudgery celebration springs to mind. Or maybe a more select event.

2016-06-25 Punches

Two small punches. Handy, always good to have spares. Easy to lose or bend or whatever.

2016-06-25 Like-a-Bike

A really nice fancy Like-a-bike Kokua. Missing the seat. It even has Schwable tires, pretty fancy. We will find some seat to put on this and then press it into service under some small child's butt.

2016-06-25 Eddie Bauer Stroller

This Eddie Bauer branded thing is not the best quality offspring moving device available but who knows, somebody may need it. It will be cleaned and tested and we will see if it can be repruposed from there.

2016-06-25 Baby Jogger Double

This is a bit of an old model now but still a classic, a Baby Jogger double. This is a really big jogging stroller. You can get a couple of fat lazy 4 year olds in this thing and trundle them around. It is light for it's size but not super easy to fold up.

2016-06-25 BOB Double Jogger

A nice looking BOB double jogger. The fabric is a little faded and the tires a little worn but overall the thing is in good shape and usable.

When we snagged it from the side of the road a lady in a car nearby said "You are sooooo lucky". It was not luck that we jumped out of the car and grabbed the stroller as soon as we saw it. That was good judgement. She was obviously sitting there debating whether to get out of her car and grab it. There is a time for thinking and there is a time for action, she cannot tell which is which.

2016-06-19 Miele Air Clean

This Miele has a strange name for a vacuum cleaner, it is the "Air Clean" model. Allegedly.

An an older model, works fine though. This has been rehomed already.
