As one dives for wood in dumpsters, one comes across all the flotsam and jetsam of today's throwaway society. But for poor, no-budget me that's a very good thing! The stuff I keep finding is simply amazing. Weirdest thing of all is that I often find what I need. One day I ordered a cheap LED strip from China and that very week I found a matching DC adapter and remote controller. Coincidence or serendipity?

Anyway, in this log I will keep track of the most wonderful and weird bycatch...
