I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

    When I was working (I'm retired), I would occasionally come into possession of fresh flowers at meetings or other business related functions that were given to whoever wanted to take them home when the event they were decorating had concluded. I always took some home to my wife. I'd say: "I got you some flowers!" Invariably, my wife would get a little smile on her face and say: "I bet you got them for free." I would reply; " Well, yeah, but I got them for YOU!" It was kind of a little joke between us. 😊

    BX is an old outdated term. MC cable can be used outdoors, while BX cannot. Additionally, MC cables do not have a limit on the number of conductors they can contain, whereas BX cables can hold up to four insulated conductors.

    My guess for that first thing is that it is used to take professional product photos. You could place an item on the glass turntable and get a nice even diffuse lighting through the back. It could even be used for those fancy 360 degree photos that you see on some websites.

    That first thing you found looks like a rotating light table for doing 3D object scans. The curved back light panel is known as a cyclorama and the turntable allows the object to turn and be photographed from all angles for a full scan.

    That turntable thing you found right away?? Very nice. When you see that sexy curved piece of glass on the back??? That's money. Somebody paid real money for that device.... I've seen 3D scanners that kinda looked like that??? I'm not sure though. Neat item though, no doubt. I'm always amazed what you find....
    The flowers.... Yeah, probably a scene of sadness there... Whipped them at the dumpster, they didn't even go in.... Ouch.... Ooof. But now, it will come full circle, Mrs Mike will love them.... Your happy home with rescued dogs will be a warmer place.... And the circle is complete.... It's a beautiful thing....
