dumpster diving w/o the diving part...


yeah, it was one of those days... i had to run errands around potrero hill. as i was getting into my van, something caught my attention. in the driveway next to this old wherehouse sat a dumpster, one those 7 ft tall debris boxes with 2 steel swing doors. the rear half of the box had been filled with what i remember was construction debris. and right before all that twisted metal, splintered wood and empty paint buckets sat an bright orange cubic contraption on the steel floor. i recognized it immediately as an commercial espresso machine. not any machine but, indicated by the bright paint scheme, one from the early 70's! and on top of that a lever operated one!
i backed up my van and managed somehow to lift that klotz into my van. jeez, was that heavy! i guess something around 65 kg.
