Didn't erikv find some pants last year?

Music CD's almost every ride. I once found 12 disks in one spot.

Last week found a step drill, $36 at Home Depot

Oakley sunglasses

Bundle of (25?) hacksaw blades. Best find ever. Haven't had a dull saw in
15 years.

Sockets, screwdrivers, pliers, Vise Grips, wrenches, knives, (one was thrown
at me) Coleman multi tool, Leatherman multi tool, bar clamp, sharp shooter
medal, loose change...that's about it.

I'll take the not crashing over $5. anytime.

No one has given me money while I was riding but I have been given beer and
some kind of home made cigarette while cycle touring through Phoenix.

etc, found while riding)

On the subject of finding things while out riding: what's the best find
you've had? I found a $5 bill (after crashing on wet pave, so it made up
for it, kinda). Another time a wrought iron fire-poker...little
nerve-wracking riding with it down the back of my jersey (coulda been a
body-poker!).

And, not exactly "found:" someone once gave me $50 to give directions/lead
them to a destination...

I actually do wash my rags in my home washer.

I do wipe the washer down after, but it works fine.

Lot's of soap and hot water.

sort of related, I collect shop rags, those pink ones. I don't buy them, but
have a personally policy of picking them up when found and bringing them
home to use, I've found them while out riding, and hung them on my bars or
cable housing for the rest of the ride.

Wash them in the laundry, then use until dirty, repeat...

Just curious what are people doing out there tto lessen the impact on the
waste in their home shop? Garbage, sludge, chemicals etc.

Specifically, I'm wondering what people are doing with greasy rags.
