Picked up a sweet little tv for my workshop on our neighborhood buy nothing page. No more watching how-to vids on my phone.

Got bunch of things off FB. 2 different Bose Wave radio cds. One grey that was kind of beat up and had a blown speaker for $40, another one in perfect condition for $50. The perfect one was white. Got a Bose Music System IV for $20. Looks perfect, but no power. Need to send it out for repair that will run $100 for that plus shipping.

Bought a couple tool boxes. A nice stainless Kobalt for $100 and it was damned heavy! And a Craftsman topper for $50.

^^^ That Kobalt tool cart is fantastic for $100! Nicely done!

Yesterday when I was at the tag office the building next door was getting new landscaping. It's the old tag office and sheriff's dept before they moved into the courthouse bldg where I was. Anyhoo....you know me when a landscape job is going on....I have to get a closer look and offer some peanut gallery commentary - which I did. This sign was in the dump trailer so I grabbed it.....very sturdy and would make a nice potting table top or for other things....

NAD amp and tuner with a pair of Vienna speakers.

Ha, I got a NAD amp a week or two ago from the dump shop. It goes perfectly well with the Mission speakers I got from the dump shop the week before. I really like the NAD amp. Great sound and nicely uncomplicated.

I love the sound of the Missions, have 3 pair in various places.

Ok, I got this in a trade.

I'm sorry. :D

I'll bet those vintage Empi bolt on engine parts are worth more than the Sterling; (the crank degree wheel, the oil filter adapter and the sump extender.)

(And you're owed a roof and the hydraulic roof lifters!)

The sump below the block looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Byron did you trade him a gallon of eye bleach ? 😁 What are the plans for it ?

I want to use the engine in my buggy, and will decide on the rest later. But Speed Racers "Mach 5" popped in my head, or I could do this.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1713125754.jpg

You're gonna make me start hitting the alleys again. We have a neighborhood wide yard sale every year in May so I'm collecting stuff. It doesn't matter if I sell 10 POS's for a buck each, that's ten bucks. Usually do $300+ in cast offs.

Butcher block top
 

My wife has finally given up quilting on her quilt frame and says it doesn't work any more. She can do quilting on one of her sewing machines and can/has done a quilt that she says is the largest size she'd make. So my job is to take the quilt frame and modify it to become a sewing table she can use while in the room with the quilt wall. This will enable her to sew small pieces together without loosing the 'pattern' determined on the quilt wall.
Today I scored a table with a butcher block top that will be adapted to the modified quilt frame for the small sewing table.

$50 for the table with four chairs which will probably become curb fare for the neighborhood sooner than later.
I was going to make my own butcher block top, but I couldn't buy the wood for one big enough for $50.

Someone left these at the beach over a week ago. I decided to bring them home today. The towel added to my collection. The bathing suit bottom maybe will fit Holyanna......

I had been planning a low retaining wall (less than a foot high) and didn't want to use random stone. Yesterday I glanced at our local trader mag and found a neighbor up the road had replaced a chimney and wanted to sell the materials from the old one.
$100 for about a ton of bricks and masonry. The granddaughter helped load and unload. Good thing. I had covid last week. Still feeling it.

Take it easy on yourself, Les. It took me about a month to get over covid.
