That is awesome! Think that is the same moped that my uncle had when I was about 13. He allowed me to ride it when I was visiting and I ran the wheels off of it! Fun!

Awesome we had a jawa transistor i was about 8 and drove it straight into the barn and bent the forks back. We fixed it but it never ran right after that. Probably put more miles on it trying to pedal start it than actually riding it. Then my friend in high school had one he romped in the woods. Ran worse and worse. Then somebody tried to steal it out of his yard so his dad threw out the front wheel. Eventually gave it to me for parts. I made a motorized bicycle with the engine. I still have the engine in the shed.

Crazy. Canvas and rubber. :rolleyes:

Crazyness for sure. The first pair I bought were U.S.A. made. Since Nike took over they are no longer made in the U.S.A. My high tops I have on now came from Viet Nam. The new red ones are from India.

Where ever they can get them made for a penny less. All over southeast Asia. Never Africa. Too much corruption going on I suppose.

Pair of Weathertech fitted mats for the front of the 3500hd.
Exact fit and colour matched to the interior. $45.
Nice that they cover all of the carpet that the OEM mats leave exposed.

Super interesting. Not a Craigslist or garage sale score, but a bird point I found in Le Conte Canyon in the Sierras.

This guy was an avid cayaker he probably found it in nj or virginia he did the length of the delaware many times. My buddy collects arrowheads and native stuff so they will probably go to him. He lives near where a big indian village was on the susquehanna and found some heads right in his garden

My best Craigslist score yet. Recently moved FIL into a Sr Living Community. He now has a power chair to assist in getting around for long hauls like doctor visits. Decided we needed a hitch mounted lift for transport. Found a Harmar Lift with a Swing Away Mount that sells for $2,500 on Craigslist for $200! Drove from Atlanta to Bradenton FL last Sunday to pick it up. Lift is new in box never used as seller's husband passed before they had a chance to use it.

I look under every category I can think of at Facebook marketplace and craigslist. Only thing I’ve come up with over the years, has been a space saver tire for a BMW, I gave my friend with the M3.

Some curb scores yesterday. Couple tables and a nice door from a cabinet complete with hinges and a lock and no key!

Went over to Mom's this morning to prune her Queen Palms and treat her paver driveway with Mold armour. She also had a problem with her TV so I fixed that too.

About 1/2 block from her house I saw these laying in the grass curbside to be picked up by the G-men.

In almost perfect condition...4 aluminum sliding door screen panels. They are 4' high and 77" high.

Also have the track and some additional aluminum panels that I assume were used to help fit these panels.

I will be able to use these here with all the decks I have built.

Sad, but a great score for you, someone that needs and can/will use it. And totally worth the drive.

I found a video that shows how those sliding doors (2 posts up) are supposed to work......
