This might be it... I would confirm if they are plastic, (3D print) then coated or metal, (laser cut).
2nd time better than the first. And the first was pretty Freakin' Great!

Yes, it's a piece my gf and I designed and made (out of metal) with a company we use for a lot of our 3D printed art & jewelry.

I had planned an elaborate shade to hang on my back-hatch of the mini van. (It makes it easier to nap.) Today I draped a nice piece of fabric over the back door to mark as a pattern. Guess what? I took the easy way out. It was beautiful. I'll attach it with large binder clips as needed. All done and so happy.

Every year I bring a equiptment gift for my campmate. This year she gets several pieces to become more self sufficient. I love this one. It's a lounge. It's a chair. It's a lounge chair. Works just like a Lazyboy.

Got my pink registration for my Limo, registered, smogged, tuned up, tires on, battery and alternator installed. Got my physical passed for my Class B commercial CDL, photo at the DMV for my renewal. It is in the mail. I might be able to rent it out for proms ($$$$). A new Landau roof is on hold ($$$$). I have some chrome tape to hold down the edges. It will look butt-ugly as shit, but "dammit" it is mine.

I turned 65 on the 12th, so I am officially old. On Medicare, MediCal, caregiver by IHSS provider (Darleen). I have a small 3 wheel scooter to bring, it breaks down into manageable pieces. I can drive to the outer ring of the Man base in my Limo, then take the scooter in close enough to use my cane. I still have the Gout due to my bad left kidney. I will offer to drive occasionally for the Department of Mobility, but I may not be able to enter center road or ring road, er, Rod's Road. No Harley Golf cart this year, because the Limo is not set up to tow my trailer. I can still manage to give a few rides. :wink:

It's a fantastic find, eldergeekaz! . . . If I had that, I'd finagle a piece to add to the top of at least one of those baskets, and maybe see about having a little lockable area.

I hate dancing in a backpack. I tend to take mine off and just keep an eye on it, which has served me for years, but I need a better system. Maybe I need a bike basket, too. :)

I had similar collapsible baskets on my shopping bike in Japan, with a handbasket which clipped to the top of the rack. They're a great find!

Yea, I'm thinking about modifications, its what I do..... :roll: Fabbing a locking cover that also folds up will be in order. I think FIGJAM Image did it using another basket on top. hmmmmmm

I was happy that I could carry six bags n blocks of ice in one trip, if needed. Its been on CL for over a month. Can't believe someone didn't snatch it up.

Finished soldering up the control box for my 'grey water removal system', aka: modified FIGJAM swamp cooler. Pics coming after testing.

Even when they still don't have a VP.... Come on Karma!!!

This will be the last one, I promise........ Wait,...... No,..... I don't promise ........ I don't have my night outfit yet.
Time & money will be the determining factor on it.... Well, ..... mostly money...........

New day, so I'm back.... These are used, but 'new to me', so you will only get moist ZigZag.... 8)

Picked up these shipping containers at a salvage place ($10ea - 8 more left :wink: ). Everything fits perfectly including the not pictured ratchet straps, chain links and other rigging gear. The one on the right is upside down. I'll fix that later..... :?

I don't know dude, those are pretty hot.

Are they that "hardened" plastic for shipping electronic instruments? They look rugged but not too heavy. 10 bucks is an awesome price.

I got my cooler, my folding camp table and my new Coleman stove from Amazon. Then I went to the thrift store and got some cookware, a mesh bag for vegetable peelings, and some utensils with a 30% off senior discount thank you very much. (No, the rug is not going!)

I think I need to sit in front of an air conditioner for a bit!! :oops:

I will say yes to both. The way they had the 'firm' foam glued in, they are pretty solid when whatever was in there, was in there. Not sure they would handle the American Tourister test with all the fittings bouncing around inside but for riding in the back of the truck, they should do fine.

Looks like you are ready to do a test dinner..... Whatchya makin??? :P

Letting go of the largest single piece of fabric that I've ever owned. 12 feet by 20 feet. I'm cutting off a chunk of it for my shade structure. 12 by 6. A big piece with no seams is called for. Sewing one piece a day will get me done by the end of the month. Bye bye big pink fabric. I'll miss you.

(Hey I've had the thing for a year or two. It's use it or chuck it.)

Sav, somebody here has a similar wire-mesh bike basket, only with a clam-shell type lid. They posted a photo showing they locked the lid to the basket when not riding. FIGJAM's Swiss Army ashtray, maybe?

Lonesomebri, that swag is excellent. You never cease to amuse :)

I've done very little burn-related lately, other than finding a place to take where I can take welding lessons and we can build the Little Girl's Industrial Off-Rail Handcar.

Last night I finally tackled a long planned project. A hat for my campmate. Abba Zabba. The top is still plain. I may cover the crown. Everything looks so fancy untill you get it out there and it becomes 'hohum'.

This creation consists of an adjustable party store top hat, ladies belt, dollar store mask and eyeballs from a teddy bear. the tiny ball fringe came from a little girls dress. Yes, it also has a chin strap. I'm pleased with it.
