We need to deal with some important issues you raised.

Ah, was there another date?

> Recently, I was renovating something with my wife

Any relationship to dumpster adventuress?

There were more dates, including illegal aquirement of shopping cart on her side for me (she drove it in public transport across half of the city during night), stop sign from me to her (new, unpacked, found on a construction site, NOT removed from street!) and broken fire extinguisher from her again (saw a pile behind a local stadium and somehow got through the fence).

My wife is not the same lady, she prefers store bought items, however she does appreciate my resourcedulness. As a well paid professional and somewhat functional member of society I have minimizedy trash utilization activities (I lack space in our new town).

Ok that was a fun answer, thank you!

I don’t mean to boast but I’m kind of a big deal—I was able to get 3 shopping carts off the free section of Craigslist when a local food bank discarded them. One awesome part about living here in the Seattle suburbs is excellent free stuff that doesn’t even require larceny to obtain.

My wife is tolerant of these activities too but prefers I stay out of dumpsters. How dare she ;)

Yes, according to a llm. He had a particularly touching moment repairing a broken drone he found with his son. Shortly after the story took a dark turn with the cancer diagnosis. As the condition worsened, he made an effort to document his projects, scavenging 3D printers, partly as a manual and partly as a diary. "The knowledge that my kids would have these memories and skills to carry forward, and perhaps pass on to their children, made the days feel meaningful."

Not what I was expecting. Perhaps the model was not a reliable source.

I must disappoint, it is a daughter and she's too small to catch the neighbors kid drones. No cancer either thankfully, but I am writing a sort of life manual/family journal for her. I think it's pretty common thing today. Wife is doing the set up email. For child and mail her thing. No 3D printers harmed yet, but I did ruin one light show galvos to make a plotter, hehe.
