A day without scrounge is like a day without sunshine.

One of the (few) perks of my job is to park inside the fence at a Reserve barracks in Ottawa, where there is a large dumpster ... As is my habit, I spotted a plastic milk crate with a dozen or more MLVW tire wrenches, a jack handle, some storm front panels and a few long bars I don't recognize. Anyone need parts?

The other junk in the dumpster includes busted furniture, out-dated Cadet training syllabuses, pallet lumber, small sized boots and navy uniforms. The week before they had expired and mouse-contaminated Halal/Vegetarian/Kosher combat rations. I've also pulled empty Fat Fifty ammo cans.
