The latest addition to the "Useful Things Found Beside The Road" collection. A little TLC and some creative engineering, and I just saved $70.

Did it fall off a lawn care trailer

Still won't help you shoot a pintail

I may turn it into a walk-in decoy cart, just to prove you wrong!

Red cup works just as well, but if you find it for free, well, you can't go wrong there.

Not if you have 2 acres of pasture to plant!

why the heck are those things so expensive anyways? I snagged one at a garage sale last month for ten bucks.

AT's favorite four letter F-word... FREE!

Always wondered that myself. They're just rickety little collections of plastic. Hell, you can buy a cheap push mower for $110, and it's got a motor. Don't get it.

It'd go faster if you toted it behind you while you rode some large animal, possibly a bird like creature

I scored one at the dump last Sat. The "drive shaft" to the spiny thing was seized. Some wd40 and it's as good as new. Scored a lawnmower 3 weeks ago. The guy said it wouldn't run and when it did it would smoke and die. Someone dumped mix gas in it. Drained it, refilled with new gas, started on the 3rd pull. Smoked for about 2 minutes then ran fine. Sold it for $75.00!

Drop spreaders suck, keep your eyes peeled on the side of the road for one of the hand held spreaders. They'll get you done way faster.

Not a drop, it's a broadcast.

Well in that case, good find. When I was a kid my dad would make me fertilize the yard with a drop spreader and I hated that thing, took FOR..EVER.

I used to get excited about roadside finds til one day I found a brand new rubbermaid garbage can...score!!!
There was a rotting corpse of a big boxer dog in it.

Thats the last time I stopped to look.
Never again.

A hose, 30 cents worth of bleach, and you got a new garbage can.

Dead dog.
I have plenty of trash cans.

I bet you find bags with dirty diapers and nasty cotex inside. Its part of scrounging and why I quit.

I got my ass chewed in a forum for starting threads that already existed.
Someone would say, "we did this three years ago dumbass" and post link to the old buried thread I should have posted in.

I like looking back and finding a thread that's funny or dumb just to see wtf we were talking about last year or whatever.

Olly has some mad skills when it comes to electronics.
I was serious about creating an app called "tag dat ass". I think Olly could do it...think about $100k/day. A DAY!!!
Flappy Birds made $50k/day.

If he uses it to broadcast corn around where he hunts, he just "might" luck into a hen pintail.

Went to a thrift store yesterday because the girlfreind thinks she's into cross country skiing.

Found an old uno vac thermos in good condition, unscrewed the cap and took a sniff. Clearly smelled of piss. Thought about trying to leverage for half off the sticker price but put it back.

while i agree with AT, you know suck it up and get it cuz its free, really old death stink can really get in the nostrils and stay there for a long while, even got on the tongue its such a heavy stink. sometimes you got to walk away and i am very scared to ask what your walking away point is AT.

Found this on the side of the road today. Minimal damage and a nice surprise inside. I am not much much of a bud light or dos Equis guy but hey, never look a gift horse in the mouth.
