Yard Sales Aren't For Everyone

...and for those people, there's dumpster diving!

Fortunately, in Naperville, we don't have to go as far as the dumpsters - there's prime goods to be found. On the side of the road. Starting the evening before the trash pickup happens.

Not that I make it a normal habit, but in the the normal course of driving around you can't believe the masses of stuff that people seem to have no use for. I picked up a fully-working 4 gallon 125 psi air compressor yesterday. Do I have a use for it? Not yet. But lack of an immediate purpose never stopped a man from acquiring more tools....
