A Rega P2 record player a few years ago! Still own and use it to this day.

Wow! Which tone arm did it have? I bought a P3 back in 1982 and still have it with an SME iiiS tone arm.

Tonight after riding a few laps around the Rose Bowl in Pasadena CA I rode home and found a pair of aviator style sunglasses in the street that were in very good shape. No scratches on the lenses and the frame was not bent. I found them before a car would run over them.

I found this on my ride home yesterday. I did not stop to bring it home. It looked quite heavy.

I found a beat-up quarter today.

I had seen it last week flash by, but when I went back for it, I couldn't find it. Today, I stopped sooner and found it.

I pick up change, sometimes I see it going in one direction then after turning around can't find it. Then when I turn around again I can usually find it. One time I found a bunch of pennies, when I collected them it totaled $.50

This past week I was doing a tour of retracing the old Springfield-Peoria-Galena Stagecoach route.
(This route was an important transportation line in pre- civil war Illinois.)
While traveling between small farm towns, I discovered a Buck Hunting Knife #119 with leather Sheath on the gravel shoulder of the road.
The sheath was a bit scuffed up, as though, it had been run over at least once. But the knife was in excellent condition.
I looked it up... $75.00 Item on Amazon

I moved a fellow like this off the road a couple weeks ago; left him on the side he was heading for.

I found this last weekend on a busy road. At first, I passed it, but thought it might be worth going back for. Sadly, even though the ratchet works fine, it's a non-metric size I'll probably never use.


9/16" ... well, close to 14mm!

Yeah, I've found with even vehicles going to metric bolts I'm using my SAE stuff less and less all the time. And of course, that's what I have most of

Does it work for 14 mm?

Haven't had an opportunity to try, but it's about 0.3mm bigger than 14mm, so it probably would work.

If you have to use much torque it will round the head off. For loosened bolts/nuts it'll work to finish getting them off. But why?

Good question! I have complete, multiple sets of metric wrenches, so I have no real use for this particular wrench.

Today we found a 13mm Snap On wrench. Tandem ride. The stoker went off to grab it and put it in my jersey pocket. Once we found $350 in small bills in an unmarked apron with absolutely no ID or anything. I've found a guys passport, airline tickets and business trip itinerary in a billfold. I went to the hotel listed and returned it to the concierge. Hope he got it. Found a huge Bowie knife in Yellow Stone NP. Don't know what to do with it. It's in our car camping stuff. Found quite a few heavy mallets. Found a really nice dead blow mallet which is a go to tool hanging in the garage wall.Found ever so much. Sometimes I just keep going and hope someone finds it good.

HERE is another nice tool I found on the street. I wasn't riding, though... I was in first grade walking to school (1956). Still, a useful find which I will pass on to my kids some day.

Ooh, can you grab that for me?

I found a turtle yesterday. Aquatic, but not a snapper. I threw him in the swamp side of the ditch, as it was getting dark. I think he was absorbing some residual heat from the pavement.

I found a bunch of wire coat hangers in the gutter. A handful of them were un-mangled so I tucked them into my backpack.

I came across a nice hat. It was black with white pinstripes, to match a 1940s gangster suit. It had a nice brim. I kept riding though, as I wear brim hats for the sun, and I don't wear black in the sun.

I'm amazed at how many shoulder bolts and lug nuts I ride by in the gutter.

This morning I rode past a pair of black men's dress shoes (wingtips? cap-toes?), maybe size 9 (too small for me), very nicely set together on the curb. My guess is somebody forgot and left them on top of their car, and some other good samaritan that found them put them there to be found by the owner

Had to check to see if you and Smaug1 were both in Chicago.

Found a flattened, dried-out lizard on a dirt road. Looked like it had been squashed by a pickup. No photo, as I assume it may be deemed too gross. Mods, what say you?
