    Hey Y'all
    I had to bring my Brother-in-law To the Dr. yesterday so after bringing him to his appointment and treating him to lunch I brought him to the bus Station and sent him home! I went and Perused My regular Dumpster and THe newer one was just trash The other one Old type ( same hieght allthe way around )had some dvd cases AND SOME LOOSE DVDS I rescued Both and My Harbor Frieght Grabber Was worth it's weight in movies I eneded up with about 20 cases& movies Some with the Cases Covers / artwork Some without- most in as new condition some with minor scratches but nothing that can't be fixed ! Ironically I even found a disk I just ordered ( Tak & The POWER of Juju - THe TROuble With Magic ! I'm working on covers for the ones that did'nt have them now Not a big haul cases wise but movies are movies and free is free says jvc !!!

    @BigToxy

    If those rubber rollers on your old printer are accessible, you should be able to take a damp sponge and lay it on each one and push the paper eject?clear button and clean all the lint off them where they can catch the paper again. My old HP required same every so ofter. The Canon has not.

    garmoon & BIGTOXY69, you can also use rubber renue that rejuvenates & conditions rubber. i bought a bottle of it when i was having problems with my 1st 2nd hand laser printer. can also use medium grit sandpaper to roughen the roller's surface.

    I checked the dumpster the other day, and nothing was in it but trash. First time I had been in awhile. I asked the guy in the store if he had any he was about to toss out? He gave me about a dozen. Half of those were the booger green ones. I think I had just missed a decent haul by a day or two. He said he had thrown a bunch out, but he thought the truck had been, and emptied the dumpster............Oh well. Maybe next time. Keep up the good work Toxy!

    I have a sad story to tell. Climbed into my local BB dumpster yesterday fulling expecting to find the half-eaten ham sammitch and bag of chips that little Ms. Mgr Chubby-Lovin pitches in favor of the 5.99 pizza deal next door, usually evidenced by the existence of a ham sammitch and bag of chips tucked neatly into an empty pizza box. I didn't find my sammitch, but that's not the sad part.
    Popping the top on my dumpster I discovered a jacuzzi-like pool of cases; hundreds of them. Discreetly backing my car up to the joyous discovery, I tossed my grabbers in favor of a more traditionalist approach, lobbing handfuls from the pool to the trunk. The supply seemed endless and it wasn't long before the trunk was full. I went backseat and filled the floor, all the while singing the praises of that sage JVC, who hath opened our eyes to the possibilities. I sang, I danced, I ate something that looked delicious but was not. Then it happened. I hit water. It wasn't that nice, rainwater cleansing soak that might be seen as a benefit. Rather, it was a greasy slime-covered wet that led me to believe my pizza box was somewhere below, contaminating the precious commodity. I trimmed the top, taking what I could salvage but I was forced to concede many and I am ashamed to admit I walked away from two to three hundred cases. It's still hard to talk about. I'm hungry as anything, but I can't bring myself to go back for my daily sammitch. I am comfortably cased for the time being but the memory of those innocents, floating in a dastardly sea of goop haunts me.

    that post right there should be sticked(no pun intended) put to the first page here some how.... that is the best description of what we do and why we do it and what we run into while in the dive. that could have not been better said/described.

    Rippdogg
    been a while since we've seen your post. glad to see you got a nice trunk full of case's and then some.and it is a shame you had to leave as many as you acquired it is a true tragedy. but dont let that stop ya. keep on diven.. gotta take the kiddies out here in a couple hours and will be going by 2 BB so a dive or 2 is in the near future.

    News Flash,
    Cincy Rob has been hanging around the Fenway Park dumpsters in search of a certain mythical entity known as the "World Series Trophy" an item not seen in Cincytown in modern history. Unfortunately this item is highly prized an not easily obtained or purchased. (Sorry George money can't buy everything)
