I have been very fortunate as of late. Found a rain jacket on MP that was free, two old bike lights that had no mounts for free (have already made a mount for the rear and will start on the front mount soon), and found a 36oz water bottle that will be strapped to a cage that I have made (the cage can hold up to a half gallon sized container). Working on a few other things as well.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
