Peter--

A real estate agent who contacts me when she have a house with tools to empty has a place in the Elwood District that has to be cleaned out by January 4.  Celena and I visited today.  The owners had a load of electronic gear and cables that might be of interest to your crew.  If not, it's headed to e-waste.  I'll be there tomorrow at about 10:30, if you or any of the FixIt folk want to join us.

On a Related Front:  Years ago I picked up some electronics that had been used to install solar hot water systems.  Nice-looking old-style meters that I'd intended to install in our grandkids' treehouse to give it a second life as a space ship or submarine.  They weren't interested and the stuff has been gathering dust in my shop.  Does that sort of thing hold any interest for you?

On a Related Front #2:  Picked up many bolts of cloth from an upholstery shop cleaning its warehouse.  Four or five of them didn't pass my wife's inspection.    Would your sewing shop be interested?

And so on like that...
