Stuff?

[blowtorch-betty.livejournal.com]

I have a whole whack of gardening supplies and other stuff that we're getting rid of if anyone is interested.

We live up near tufts and are moving to Seattle soon and don't feel like paying by the pound to move it all.

Most of the stuff is cheap or free.

Other things on the list include:

paint
pc
table saw
lumber
two story aluminum extension ladder
wheel barrow
drop spreader
misc. yard tools
box fan
humidifier
dining table and chairs
weber charcoal grill with cover
hardwood outdoor table

Is there a policy in this community about large images?
How about posts that disable comments?
EDIT: Everybody should go here for some wonderful, horrible, scanned-in vintage album covers.
EDIT2: The original posting that spurred my response has apparently been deleted. So in the interests of the common good, I'm removing my large image as well. But you can still see it here if you care to.

BBQ/grill catering

[bratling.livejournal.com]

i'm looking for a caterer of a less-formal sort. i'm looking for the sort of guy who shows up with an eight foot long grill and an assistant, big piles of marinated meat and vegetables and such, and grills it all up for a big horde of hungry people. i've seen this done out in the country, but have no idea where to start looking around here!

if you've had any experience with this, or know of a friend of a friend who does, i'd love to get some leads to follow up on!

thanks very much! :-)

Diesel Meet-Up

[being-homeless.livejournal.com]

It was recently mentioned here that Diesel Cafe has been in a bidding war for their lease.

I moderate diesel_cafe and I figured now would be a great time to show our support to Diesel, so I thought I'd plan a "Diesel Meetup" on Thursday night so we all can hang out, get to meet each other, play pool, chill in Davis Square and support Diesel. Considering most of us here live in or around Davis Sq., or hang in Davis Sq. all the time, we probably pass by each other on a daily basis without even realizing it. So a MeetUp would be the ideal way to find out who is who. :)

if you wanna come, take this poll so we have an idea of who/how many people will be there.

and feel free to cross post this image to your journal to invite your friends in on the fun.

stay tuned to diesel_cafe for more details. ;)

bike for sale

[adrian-turtle.livejournal.com]

It's time for me to sell my old bicycle. It's a Schwinn Woodlands hybrid -- it has upright handlebars and broad, sturdy tires like a mountain bike, but no active suspension. It's great for commuting or recreation, so I thought somebody in Davis Square might have a use for it, what with the bikeway being nearby, and so many folks getting by without cars. This bike isn't really designed for extensive off-road use, but it doesn't need to go around potholes, not even the monsters in Belmont. Wire baskets on the back fold flat, or open to hold 2 big grocery bags (or you can take them off with a wrench.) The frame was a perfect fit for someone 5'8", and would probably be good for most people 5'5"-5'10".

It's in pretty good condition. You can ride it away, and it will be good for another 10 years if you take care of it. Scratches and paint chips, have been primed so they won't rust. If you want a nice-looking bike, it's easy enough to paint it. (Touching up the original blue, or some other color if you prefer.) Some people think nice paint makes a bike a target for thieves...I guess it depends where you're leaving it. I don't have a picture or a camera, but I'd be happy to meet with interested people in Davis Square or Arlington and show you the bike. (If you want to see the bike someplace else, send me e-mail. We *might* be able to work something out.)

This bike was very good for me, for many years. I'm getting rid of it now because it has become clear to me that a hand injury is never going to heal well enough for me to ride again. Having the bike sit in my little apartment and *tempt* me is just driving me nuts. I'm asking $60 for the bike, including a kryptonite cable lock, and the baskets. Contact me through LJ, or at adrian_turtle@hotmail.com

lost pet info

[allli.livejournal.com]

I have a pretty depressing request. Does anyone know if there is a way to get information on whether an animal has been hit on a certain street and possibly picked up by the police etc? Our cat has been missing for 6 days and his collar was found lying on the side of the road...
