Not good and I want to change that. Cellphone pic so its a little blurry. Got to love drivers who leave stuff behind on the freeway.

That is a dam nice bike to find just laying in the median. Nice! Good luck with your health plan too. You can do it, just pace yourself.

Thats the good thing about weight watchers. You eat what you want but in smaller portions. Went to lunch today at the local mexican place. Had my normal Chicken Fajitas, but with to tortilla shells and no sour cream. Also stayed away from the chips and salsa and rice and beans

You'd be surprised what is left on the freeway intentionally or unintentionally. This just happened to be a good road find.

I found a ladder once. Well, it found me, and the oil pan on my old truck. And it also found part of the exhaust too. But that ladder was so good that it removed all of those items in about a millisecond from under the truck.


It fell off a cable installers van (not secured to the roof rack) and I had the option of hitting the cars on either side of me or going over it. I went over and it did some serious damage to the truck. The cable guy had no idea and just kept going. I never did get the name of the company or truck number.

On the way to work, I once found a really nice metal Coleman cooler. It was just laying on the side of I5 so I pulled over and grabbed it! The job I was doing was at a hospital, so my cousin and I figured we were safe to eat the picnic someone had packed...and then lost! I'm talking fried chicken, potato salid, the works! It was JUST what a couple hungry teen age kids needed! This was 20+ years ago and we still have the cooler!

You ate what was inside of it? Man, that is BRAVE! The fact that it came from a hospital would only make me more nervous!

And they were pure out miserable. God I'm out of shape worse than I thought. I'm sitting here at my desk in misery, legs still burning.

No, I found the cooler on the interstate on the way to the Hospital....it wasn't Hospital food. I was doing a remodel at the Hospital.
