The wifey n I have been doin some stargazing with some ancient binos I grew up with. Started looking around and found these bad boys. Scored them for $175.00. They are in great shape and can’t wait to get them into service. At eleven pounds, a mount is required. This leads me to my latest CL score. Found it listed in Reno, so drove up today to take a look and ended up bringing it home too. Guy was firm at $150.00 since they sell for a quite a bit higher. We now have options for upgrading to a large telescope. The seller was very informative to the inner working and fine tuning for celestial observations.

Got this off FB Marketplace. 2015 S w/64k. $23k. It needed a lot of paint correction. Spent half a day on it and it looks like this. Did a little more work on it since then.

Another freebie score. Just down the street from me. In almost perfect condition - the slings are perfect. Little corrosion on the frames by the legs - but not much.....

LeMans on bluray for 25 cents!
Watching it now...
Picked up a crap load of DVDs for the trailer since that is all that player will take. Few blurays with both The Hobit movies and the box set Lord of the Rings. $20 all in.

No pic to share but Monday in my Mom's neighborhood a nice little utility table, pipe wrench, 2 chains, and a bolt cutter.

Then today on my way to one of my accounts - this little TV/stereo table....in very good condition.

What do you guys think that taller shelf is for on the left side? Normally I would say computer tower but not here.

Just picked up a couple '74-'81 Sports Seats (tombstone) out of a 930 for $220. Poor recover job, so cores...but still a good deal.

Bottles? A drinks and snacks table for the veranda?
