I love the Utah State University bid sale, I have gotten some cool things from there over the years. I even saw two Honda Passports there one time (I couldn't afford them though) I got a chair there in 1998 or so, I went back today and I saw some chairs still there, just like the one I got 10 years ago.
Today I scored big though. I have been kicking around the idea of building a light table, I have a piece of tempered glass, all I needed was a table, and a light. They had lights, plenty of them, and they had tables. I saw table that would have worked fairly well, a little short though, for 5 dollars.
Nothing had been decided, so I went to another section of the bid sell, and low and behold there stood before me a light table, complete for 10 dollars. I bought it right away, and I took it home, and it turns on, runs with no hum or flickering. Plus it was originally owned by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, so that is a bonus. Here is a picture of it.
Here comes the scooter part. My first project (this was done at around 1AM, and it is in regular ballpoint, because I couldn't be bothered to find a decent pen, I was excited ).
It is a Simson Schwalbe (German for Swallow) It was a scooter made in East Germany, also seen in I am kind of obsessed with the DUO that Simson made.Goodbye, Lenin.
