Trash day, take two, for this pair

Speakers

Not mine, not ours - this pair of speakers arrived at our home one trash day, under the arms of my son. Turns out these were not such a great find, but instead of going back out into the trash, the speakers lived a furtive life hiding out in our basement for about a year.

Routed out, reexamined and found wanting, they are back out on the street. . . and if nobody grabbed them for a third chance before the truck came, off they went to the landfill. . .

It's tempting to bring stuff home from the curb. We've found some great things, and it's a pleasure to keep useable items out of the landfill. But not all found things are good finds. Time to say oops and let them go!
