recycling

One of the things on our list of unpleasant things to do this weekend was get rid of the old oven:

IMGP2134

It's freakin' heavy. We'd have to wrestle that mofo into the trunk of the car and drive it up to the dump and then wrestle it out and hope that one of those rather burly, surly chaps who sit around in their hut at the city dump helped us lift it into the "metal only" bin so that the scrap could be used to build a booming, new China...or some such.

And then the Vol-in-Law would have to try to convince me to get back in the car rather than poke around the dumpsters looking for useful cast-offs (on past trips I've managed to collect very nice terra cotta planters, stone tiles used to finish off a home decor project and ring-binders full of porn).

But no need now. We discovered yesterday evening that someone unknown had taken the oven away. Thank you mystery thief/recycler!
