Orthopedic Leg Immobilizer - 24" (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
Used about 10 days until I got to see an orthopedist who switched me to a different device that was appropriate for my specific break. Brand = Top Shelf Orthopedics Height = 24" Padded & lightweight for a device like this, connectors are velcro. Elegant black exterior may inspire you to wear it to formal occasions.

Working Gas 4-Burner grill (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
This Char-Broil grill is a lovely seasonal addition, neither brand new nor used-up. All burners worked when I last used in early March. Partial tank of gas, calibrated thermometer reports temperature under hood. The side burner is unused. The grills under the hood will look better with a serious cleaning, so some elbow-grease application for best aesthetics. It'll call for two people to move it to your transportation...not so much the weight as the 9 stairs. Worth the effort.

Patio table (& maybe chairs) (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
Patio table, metal. Seats 4 adults comfortably. Sturdy but not heavy. I can also bundle three patio chairs if you want 'em. A pair of them were two of the four that came bundled with table. The third chair is different but stylistic cousin.

Furnace Filters 18 x 25 x 1 (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
There are three (3) Furnace filters, 18" x 25" x 1" I bought them a few summers back to improvise an air cleaner to mitigate ash-laden air from fires, but then the fire season crud didn't come out way, so never used. Will filter as though they were new out of the package. Easy porch pick-up.

Wi-fi Networked Scanner (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
This Epson Workforce 3640 *was* a four-way device. It works as a splendid document scanner and as a fax machine. The print and copy functions no longer work. I've been using it as a networked document scanner. The bundled software is easy to master for basic tasks, but it also has a lot of advanced features for people who want a lot of control of their imaging. One cannot use this as a printer or as a copier any more.

Christmas is almost here. Celebrate (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
This festive Xmas necessity is a Le Jardine, Made in France classic. Santa's cranium holds six traditional French vienna sausage spear-tools. In other cultures, works for candied fruit or flaming cheese. Nothing says Christmas like a festive table decoration like this. And it's only 195 shopping days until the day you can legally use it. Easy porch pick-up.

Futon: Frame, Mattress, Cover (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Expired
Bi-fold Futon, the blue mattress is 74" x 38" (twin). The current cover is white, better for using the mattress for sleep than as a sofa. Stands 38" high in back when in sofa configuration. I can add a couple of pillows if you want. One of the frame rollers is improvised; usable but if you're going to be changing regularly from sofa to bed and back, you'll appreciate something more official. Frame rollers readily available on-line. If you want it, I'll help move it, but we'll disassemble it first to make bringing it down stairs easier.

Ottoman - Mid-Century (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
Cushioned place to rest your feet while sitting or to use as a low chair. 28" x 21" x 16" Spent entire life in a Non-smoking house. There's a post for a Victorian chair...sitters in that used this Ottoman, and they make a color-compatible, if from different eras, combo.

Sturdy Insulated Totes (6) /IcePaks (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
The Good News There are six sturdy, reusable insulated totes, with enormous Glacier Ice ice packs. I suspect each can last at least 10 uses. 10" x 9-1/2" x 14". Zipper seal and two handles. The Sick News They are not recyclable, and while the Gig Employer greenwashes their emergent trash with a lot of verbiage, they won't take these back. Their policy is they will only pick up on a delivery to a current customer even if they have a driver going right past your house. Meaning there will ALWAYS be at least one trashed, that is, the tote+ice from last delivery a subscriber took. Two outreaches to Cook Unity brought no solution; typical start-up-funded-by-offshore/Bahamas-private equity-tax-dodger behavior. I'm Hopin' Someone can use them or someone here either uses this Cook Unity outfit (I propose we re-brand them as "Trash SomethingTM") or knows someone who does use them as a way to divert these from landfill. Kinda urgent, b/c I'm on deadline (Friday 16th) for when they end up in the garbage. :-( Easy porch pick-up. Fingers crossed.

Epson Ink Jet Colors - Unopened (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Expired
Two (only) unused color ink-jet cartridges for some Epson printers & multi-function models. These are not Epson brand versions of the Epson 252XL [] Cyan, and [] Magenta. Please note, some Epson printers are factory-programmed to NOT work with 3rd-party cartridges. I've had mixed results with this brand. The cartridge model number is 252XL and they work with multiple Epson printer models, but not all Epson printers. Easy porch pick-up.
