The Dumpster Strikes Again

Bryan has found another treasure by the dumpster. At the time we're supposed to be packing up and slimming down our belongings to merge into one house, he picked up a 4 channel PA system next to the dumpster in his apartment parking lot.

This is the story I heard from him [paraphrased]:

"I was getting my mail when I spotted this PA just sitting
next to the dumpster. I thought to myself, 'this could be a piece of crap, or
maybe, just maybe the person throwing it out got a *new* PA and didn't want this
one anymore.' So, I grabbed it and immediately called my brother to find out how
to test it out. I didn't have any speakers, so I plugged a converter in and a
pair of headphones and tested out each channel with my microphone. Jay was more
and more excited as each channel worked successfully. He mentioned that all I
needed now was a pair of speakers [pause, waiting for Annie's reaction]
and that if you were upset I could just give it to him and Gioia would
understand."

Normally, I would be a little upset at such dumpster collecting activities, but we do need one for the wedding, so it worked out pretty well this time. I had to put my foot down tonight though when Bryan mentioned that maybe we should go take a walk past the dumpster. That seems to be one step to close to diving.
