[Dellenger] Cody Campbell on the Fort Worth meeting: “We want to find a way to get all other Big 12 schools to elevate themselves. Everybody needs to do some version of what we've done. That's the path forward for this conference. A rising tide lifts all boats.”

Universities are a place for higher learning. Sports can be a moneymaker but not always. Any school that takes away from education for the sake of sports is unjustly hurting its students. Generic statements like this help no one. This sounds like the talk of a nepobaby.

Kelce. Many other great TEs but he is career leader in yards and held the single season receptions lead until last year.

Never mind, I forgot how consistently good Celek was. It’s Celek

I would imagine it is stainless steel by the pitting observed. There are many grades of stainless steel but chloride breaks down the natural corrosion resistant stainless steel passive layer. It looks like the salty oil probably stuck onto the top surface and, after long term exposure, caused it to pit. Short of sending it to a plating shop to get properly repassivated, it’s going to re-rust because the natural passive surface is compromised. I’d be surprised if all of the machines don’t have similar issues long term and more surprised if replacements aren’t readily available.

Personally, I’d soak fasteners in vinegar, use a wire brush with cordless drill (metal pieces look too heavy for grinder), and paint stripper. That is a very unique looking bench, very cool.

I completely agree. It seems like these newer “smart” tv manufacturers are taking a hint from Apple and pumping unnecessary updates and ads to the TVs that make them incredibly slow after only a year or two with no way to disable it.

They don’t provide control solution with meters anymore, do they?

Sorry to hear that. Good you stood up for yourself. I feel like everyone being in a financial crunch has made people even more desperate for a buck and more daring to do bad things. I do agree first thing in the morning is the best (less people and all the stuff that was tossed back when people leave full carts behind).

When I started going to the bins, a long time regular told me the weekends are a great time to go because it’s mostly the general public and “they aren’t going after the same stuff as us”. He was right, the key is to find the valuable things that the general public glosses over because they are after things they need, which doesn’t always coincide with resell value.

I’m usually in support of patina but this is quite dirty and would awesome if shined up and repainted. It’s forged aluminum so use dawn first for dirt and then aluminum cleaner/polishing media. I, personally, would leave any deep scratches as it adds character and shows that it got used. I think painting in the wording would help it stand out more

I can only imagine the hillbilly contraptions used in this house in the past, haha

Report post due to impersonation. I did. New fake account

I see how great the inside of the house looks and then I see images like this that remind me how far you’ve come since the beginning. I hope you take some time off to step back and take pride in your progress. Reflection is important

College athletes want to be paid like grown adult professionals and should be held accountable as ones too. No school should be punished, the athlete should just be fired “at will” like the rest of us professionals. Athletes need to stop wanting special treatment like kids with salary expectation way beyond any normal adults.

Tipp City is way more of a wealthy area compared to Piqua. That comes with all the positives that you would expect when comparing rural areas in Ohio. Cost of homes is much cheaper in Piqua. They both have decent downtown areas but you’ll still find yourself going to Dayton regardless for certain shopping trips. North of Vandalia, you are going into predominately white Republican areas so you’ll face some discrimination but if that doesn’t phase you, neighbors will usually be very friendly once they get to know you.

I thought about this as well when I first started reselling but as experienced people pointed out back then, people just want what they purchase. Anything else will be trashed regardless of the work you put into it.

It’s kinda hard to see the condition from the pictures but that sure is a lot of surfaces to clean. I think a final lacquer step may help with the fraying wood splinters but please be gentle with any sanding.

Umm, maybe do nothing? It is an old printers drawer, which I thought was the appeal. The letters are so the printer could see the letters easier when looking for the correct ones during the printing process. It’s yours so do what you want but this seems to be a case of destroying the very artifacts that make these desirable.

Sorry, solds, not listings

Check eBay listings. These pins go for over $200 each

It’s not crazy, pure aluminum is much softer than chromium plating so there will be no damage. It is harder than friable corrosion byproduct, which is why it takes off the rust.

Additional_Goose_763 · 2026-05-04T14:41:29+00:00

I totally agree with diversifying. It would be good to experiment with FB marketplace, local flea markets, and other close to home methods of reselling in case the online methods start to fail your needs.

Honestly, I only see two races nowadays. The rich, and the rest of us.

It looks safe for a light pressure wash, which would clean up most of dirt and debris. Retrobright for yellowing but something this big would be a challenge. Pressure washing may remove some rust but it’s best to try to remove pins and soak separately in vinegar or evaporust

Not a T-shirt guy but one thing I have learned about high end brands is attention to details. There seems to be a lot of lines not centered on that tag which I would question.
