Based on reading BF, I bought a used pair of Felco C-7 off eBay for cutting housing/cable. Do those only work in the garden?

Almost hit an owl that was sitting on the edge of the road.
Found a cone, and waited for enough pedestrians to come along before someone had an idea. A twelve-year-old girl picked it up in her sweatshirt and moved it to a safe place in the underbrush.

This looks like something a driver would miss:

Found some Beats Headphones on the road last year. I thought they were probably broke and someone threw them out the window. But, got them home and they worked and sound amazing. Just a minor scratch.

I found a randy couple shagging and doing other fun things on Observatory Hill in Sydney, NSW a few years back on the way back from a pub. Oh my.......

This must have ruined someone's day.
Too big for a deer, so it must be an elk.
Just outside of Golden.

That could just as well be a steak. If it were gios it would be a photo of a bone fragment next to a penny

This one was in the tire. Pulled it out and slow leaked until the next morning when the rear flat was discovered. I've never gotten a flat on an object that I could have avoided.

My bike is well-versed in the language of binary load lifters, very similar to your vaporators in most respects

I picked up a T-shirt from the side of the road a couple days ago. Looks new. Odd thing to lose....

So I spotted something in the road ahead; Bag of concrete mix? Fertilizer? Animal feed?
Nope. A pillow.
On Guanella Pass.

Unfortunately, the worst littering nowadays is just plastic surgical masks everywhere because people just drop them and don't dispose of them! It's sickening to know that's going to end up in the oceans!

I find stuff all the time, folks out here in the countryside love to put stuff at the end of their driveways with a free sign and hope they disappear. Some of it useful, much of it not. However, I rarely have the space to grab the useful stuff. I did, however, recently spot what looked like a coleman camp stove on a bookshelf a mile down the street from my house. Hopped in my truck to go back and sure enough, a perfectly useful camp stove, which has seen plenty of use this summer.
13 years ago, I managed to stumble across a Park Tool chain tool on a overpass over the 505. Still have it, still use it.

This morning, a dollar bill all rolled up for use, then a 10mm wrench. Picked up the wrench.

Stopped at a grocery store the other day..as I was riding through the lot I see a small baggy on the ground tied up with a full corner..of a green weed-like dried plant. Smelled...really...awesome. It's been about 35-40 years. Since I didn't know its history...I pitched it.
