  1. Free smoker, with charcoal! I'd have snagged the charcoal, but the beach cruiser has no gears, uphill would be a pain. #curbfinds

  2. Could I pass up the Eames clone chairs on the curb? No, I could not. I will fix them and worse comes to worse release them back into the wild fully restored. #curbfinds #furniture

  3. @n3vemrepeater I checked into Lake Washington's "Louie Net" tonight, and they had a fun question - "what's the coolest thing you ever found in or beside a dumpster?"

    My best trash pick has to have been a repeater - it's what got me started dabbling with repeaters. I wrote about that a couple years back: n3vem.com/blog/repeater-rambli

    Curious to hear what cool stuff you Fedi folx have saved from the trash.

  4. I've been taking walks around the neighborhood the past few days as I get over covid (almost there!). Today was trash pickup day, and the Curb Fairy provided! It runs, but the front roller doesn't work. Should be fixable!

  5. (On the morning walk)
    My, my what do I spy with my little eye? 🧐 #curbfinds

  6. Used my palm sander and some 60, 150 and 220 grit sandpaper. To sand off the engravings. One of the large plaques had a vector engraved sea turtle which was the hardest to sand off since the vector engraving was deeper. #

  7. On the morning walk I came across this chest on the curb. It’s cedar lined and not really anything I’m interested in for a project. But inside were some black walnut plaques that were clearly laser engraved. Probably a low watt diode laser.

    I think I can sand off the engravings and do my own engravings on them.

  8. Hmmm what have we here sitting on the curb?
    Why it’s a 3 gal Harbor Freight air compressor.

    Come along little guy and let’s see if you have some issue we can fix. #curbfind #curbfinds
