Well, this is probably a "trait" or "hobby" that I inherited from my dad. But I sure like to aquire things at the local dump !!

My latest "finds" are ...

1. golf bag, decent looking Wilson Bag actually. I don't golf, figgured if I couldn't give it to someone who was looking for one, I'd make a "cooler" out of it !!

2. golf club. All I need now is to find a "gearshift knob" !!

3. Two "House For Sale" metal frames. Actually had thoughts about 6-fingering a set of these for target supports, but didn't need to, free at the local dump !!


So, ya'll got any "finds" that your not too embarassed to tell about ?? ... lol

Hey, finding things is the part of working for the highway department that I miss the most... In 23 years there I have found dozens of rods and reels, several tackle boxes, tool boxes, a truck load of lures and tools, ladders, binoculars, golf clubs, log chains, floor jacks, assorted jewlery, money, water jugs, golf clubs, a good TV, ropes, oil field tools, flash lights, ice chests(one still plumb full of ice and BBQ chicken wings and Budwiser), coats, a few dozen knives, bicycles, 2 motorcycles(which I called the police to come and get), rings, a hot-shot, shovels, a guitar, pot, car wrecks, stock racks, spurs, couple of branding irons, dildos(which I left laying), whips, brass knuckles, tank gauges, and one .22 caliber pistol......and a bunch of other stuff I can't recall off hand..... When I first took the job they told me..."You get 695 dollars a month, and all you can find"....I took them at their word.... Ahhhhhh, the good old days. ......They don't let you "pick the dump" here any more. A "lady" fell in the pit and broke her leg out there about 20 years ago and sued the city... so they stopped anyone from going out there, except the "dump man", that kinda ran things and told the trucks where to dump.

Mongo,

Out of all the things you mentioned, WHIPS really caught my eye !! ... roflmao

Sure sounds like ya had some real fun on that Highway Department Job !! Here they don't let you pick thru the dumpsters either, but there is an area that folks put things that they no longer want, but someone else might. Timing seems to be a key to get the "good stuff". Oldly enough, early Saturday morning or about mid-afternoon seems to be the best times to acquire things. Since we are up and about early, Nana (my Airedale) and I are usually the first or second ones there on Saturday mornings, so we got that time slot nailed down pat !! ... lol

Clothes and shoes are really big here as well !! I gotten many a pair of "broken in" sneakers and jeans for the wifey to wear at the horse barn during during Nana and my visits. Hey a good wash and their primo fer mucking stalls in !! ... lmao

Lmao..dildos caught my eye....that is somethin else.

I don't even know where my trash goes..I have no idea where the dump is. But , out here....you hear the ol "I'm throwin this out, do ya want it?" alot. I got rid of old furniture that way...lol. Ya'll seriously score though. I've "do ya wanted" down some kid books and outside toys (lil bike, sit&spin, a "jump on thing") for "the gal" from folks whose kids got too big for em, but that's it.

Well, I didn't really want to mention it, but I have "aquired" a pair or two of shoes/boots this way also, and a couple of coats, and several nice camo hats.... Found a large trash bag full of "naughty clothes" and toys once...Crotchless undies, leather bras, strap-ons, nighties, vibrators, rideing crops, ect.(This had a kind of "Sit and Spin" deal in there too Hands, but I think probably different from what you got rid of) ..... I left them where I found them, and told another guy that I was mowing the ROW with..... He loaded them up and took them home.... LOL...I was poor, but not THAT poor(besides, the clothes would not have fit my wife, and we don't play with "used toys") ... And hey, where did you think I got my "porn tape library"? ...I sure ain't paying my money for that stuff. Those VHS tapes you occasionally see laying beside the road... Well, I'll tell you, they generally aren't John Wayne tapes...... Here "Garage or Yard Sales" are the big thing for getting rid of stuff that you really don't need, but is too good to throw away..... We really need to have one here, but just have not had the time.

[Hands]

LoL...can't believe the guy would want that stuff. Toys like that...lol.....used=ewwed.

Oh, but I'd covet the porn too.

Hands ............ where were you when I was in my 20's ?
