I found a plaid blazer (like something a 50s lounge singer would wear) while riding
outside of Palm Springs
I wore it for a while, but it wasnt aero-dynamic enough
(plus, there was sand in the pockets)!
Something that may be of use which I came across while riding last Saturday in Hillsboro :
There is a baby stroller and the baby car seat (note: I chose to leave it there). If anyone
wants it, it can probably still be found in the ditch (more like over the bank) about 200 meters
west of the intersection of Susbauer Road and NW Long Road (on the right side of NW Long Road).

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 .

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 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.
