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.

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.

Kids' Science Kits (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
[] Wacky Weird Weather [] Mind-Blowing Science Multiple projects, not sure all parts present for all projects. [] Discovery Channel Propulsion Rocket A contemporary re-boot of one of the coolest toys of my youth. Fuel is very safe (baking soda & citric acid), but strangely, the kit did not come with them. Baking soda is, of course, easy to acquire, but citric acid is tougher. Easy porch pick-up.

Metal Puzzle/Kit - Windmill (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
A beautiful kit to build a 3-D metal Windmill. Pieces are 2-D and you pop them off sheets as in vintage plastic models. All pieces present as are the instructions. NB: My 13-year old Lego jedi-master told me assembly is impossible, and while I respect his skill, I was cocky enough to think *I* could do it even if he couldn't. I failed, too, though I do think it's possible, just not by me. Requires a needle-nose pliers, preferably smaller than the one I own. Seems fun and the end product is certainly cool to display. But if you haven't done one of these before, be prepared for the kind of challenge that when you beat it, you celebrate yourself. Easy porch pick-up.

Roku 2XS streaming box (read note) (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
The Roku box itself works beautifully, but the two streaming services I use (Kanopy & Netflix) no longer stream on this. I know Amazon changed their streaming channel to not work on it anymore. Can't tell you about anything else, but it *may* work on what you want to use it for, and it's a beautiful unit. One of the few models that has an Ethernet port, v powerful, useful connection when one's wi-fi is flakey. Includes 2XS, remote (not in picture but included), power cord, S-video, manuals and a card crediting you two free months of Hulu which may work (I never tried to use it; worth about $10-20 if it does). The one piece that came with the original not included is the HDMI cable (it failed as made in red china HDMI cables tend to do). Would love to find it a home that can use it.

Sasagaki Decorative Veg. Cutter (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
The sasagaki helps you create decorative vegetable slices, from the thin to the ultra thin. This one is like New; we used this unit once to create those stylish side-vegetable garnishes one sees in Japanese restaurants. While the surface of the box is worn, the tool itself is immaculate. A quality little tool, made in Japan where the quality of kitchen tools (even inexpensive ones) holds serious meaning. The sasagaki tool comes with 5 extra cutting blades and an instruction sheet (illustrated, but the text is in Japanese).

Clock Radio wiPod Docking (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
This used iMode Model IP200 Clock Radio w/Apple iPod docking station is in decent condition. As a clock radio & music player, the device has medium sound quality. It supports a variety of iPod models: Mini, Thin & Thick Gen 3 & Gen 4, Photo and Nano It does not support every iPod model. I got this from a giver and my own iPod's charger connector is slightly compromised, enough to not be able to use the device as a docking station. Accessories: Remote control, manuals in English & French, a set of docking inserts for different the supported iPod models. Easy porch pick-up.

Food containers/pieces (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
After the annual re-match of tops and bottoms to Ikea, Tupperware, Glad, Ziploc & no-name containers, we have five different shaped matched containers, ~18 assorted bottoms without lids and ~11 lids without bottoms. We don't microwave plastic, but we sometimes wash containers in dishwasher. Take ALL. I hope someone with a pile of mis-matches they prefer not to send to landfill will take these on and acquire some matching pieces to complement their own. Easy porch pick-up.

Great Portable FM Radio (Wallingford (Good Shepherd))
Gifted
This Philips AZ-1065 is a portable FM radio with great sound. It works in AM as well, but AM audio fidelity is not great. The unit started its life with other fine features IT NO LONGER HAS: Neither the CD player/recorder nor the cassette deck work. The telescoping antenna is gone; not pretty, but the power cord works to pick up signals exactly as well as the original antenna did. It's given me great service as a kitchen companion, but I need to reclaim counter space & would like to find a good home for it. If you have any love for music but you're currently listening using a phone or tablet, consider upgrading to this one. 18"W x 10"D x 9"H Easy porch pick-up.
