    With the weather changing and more honey dew inside projects are mounting, I figure I start this and see where it goes.

    Roadside Acquisitions. Meaning Free Finds,


    Roadside Acquisitions; Definition “Ro-ad-Side Act-u-shi#”

    1) The act or attempt to safely acquire items located in roadways, mostly in intersections or freeways. Safely removing items that have somehow dislodged it’s self from a motorist failed attempt to deliver it somewhere.

    2) The retrieval of dislodged items that were incorrectly installed and ended up impeding traffic flow or just a shoulder hindrance.

    Just recently...
    Three five gallon buckets of USG wallboard joint compound from very active four way (double yellow line) intersection. Estimated cost $70 dollars. (on a serious note how can people just drive around this)

    I get 30 points.

    If this is not the place to post this just let me know and it can be removed.

    When I was younger , I did this too but don't any more as I've seen far too much Mechanical Mayhem over the years and have barely survived several
    " oopsies " .

    Best of luck , I know there's loads of good stuff out there that falls off vehicles .
