A couple of days ago, I drove a salvaged industrial sink from the west side over to Kalina’s new space in town. Then I took a hand-me-down couch to the same space, donated by a neighbor in our housing co-op. The next day I picked up four free large used billboard vinyls from a local billboard company. Then Kalina and I got to salvage at the North transfer station — so much incredible stuff being thrown out! We were shopping primarily for studio and gallery supplies for Kalina… a special bonus perk from her Recology residency. I also made some amazing finds.

Now my little Kei truck is on its way home from its first trip over to Seattle, loaded up with lots of great free-cycling.

Up in the cab is some brand new tree climbing gear…some things you definitely do not want to upcycle. The rope is too heavy to want to bike it out. Anyways, more about that in a bit.
