Scrounged some treasures

After dropping off The Kid at daycare this morning, I took a different path home. Aha! The garbage folks haven't cleaned up this street yet.

Made many stops. Almost picked up a wooden stool, but the top turned out to be broken in half. **Could** have brought it home and swapped out the top, but I'm not into stools enough to prioritize that.

Found a whole pile of PCs. Another guy stopped soon after I did, and we both agreed that they were pretty stripped, already. But, salvaged a small fan, for a future ''soldering box'' (to draw the soldering fumes away), and a large in size -- but probably not in capacity -- an ancient hard drive.

Also took two small wooden shelves/dispensers: looks like they're for holding three stacks of hockey pucks or shoeshine polish tins, or some such; three columns, with a wide vertical slot along the front, possibly for viewing the labels in the stack. Bonus points for being actual wood, not plywood or chipboard/particle board.

Also, a lawn-edging tool: long handle, rubber wheel with an attached metal disk that shares the same axle.


Treasures!
