Merry Ditchmas

There are a lot of vacationers going back and forth these days.  Some of them are very careless in their packing, sometimes just pitching things into the boats they are towing and expecting that everything will stay there as they drive down the road.  My son rides his bike to work on nice days and has found some great stuff that has bounced or blown free.  Cookware, garments, recently a complete folding table.  I'm pretty sure some of these items have ended up as gifts.  Merry Ditchmas I guess.

I don't do quite as well but the other day did have to stop and score one small item.


Why its a pool noodle.  Not only a common item to be hauling north for aquatic fun but something that the robotics team uses to make protective bumpers for the machines.  Nice to save the team a couple o' bucks.

Here's what bumpers look like before trimming and application of the fabric.
