I'm so sorry for your loss, it's never easy to say goodbye to a friend.
Rest well little buddy, you are in a better place ❤
For everyone who’s
had pets
and passed away
for any reason
I’ve had pets also
I believe there’s
a time when we all
leave this life
we will be reunited
with our specials
treasures. you have my
condolences Mike
your pets love you there’s a
purpose why
pets are loaned to us.
love your vids!!! DOGS are love!!! sorry for your loss
Loudog was lucky to adopt y’all for the time he had left on earth! He couldn’t have found better parents! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
We always miss them like family. But Luckydog was lucky and so was you guys
He was born on my birthday same year and everything :(
All of us are so so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to see them go. RIP Mike and Mrs Scavenger's little buddy.
Get those accordions appraised twice , even in pieces they could get used for decoration , what awesome find Mike !
The one in the box looks like a one of a kind prototype!
Thank you for loving animals, Mike. I do not see your kind of love toward animals on my travels across the globe. I try to spread the love for animals in remote places, but it seems like I am talking to a wall. Your love, passion, compassion...and comedy, of course...is what draws me to your videos. The dumpster diving and curb side pickups are just a bonus.
Me and my wife have found and taken in 2 cats. Those are my kids now, wouldn't change anything about them.
Those accordians & parts have to be worth something to somebody if not many somebodies. Cool find! 👍👍👍👍👍 Love the video Mike ❤❤❤❤❤
They're in pieces already the Ivory used on some old accordions already gone
They're concertina's...probably from Norway or Germany
Interesting variety of goodies today! Sell by dates are there because the government requires it. It’s disgusting how much food is wasted because of that. If it’s properly sealed, not dented, it’s fine. Thanks Mike
Yeah. It's criminal. I get food heavily marked down because of the "sell by" date all the time. Steaks, soup, nearly anything else and it's always fine. I'm 40 years old and I've never gotten food poisoning from "expired" food. If it smells good and looks good it's fine. Hell, even a tomato or an apple with a bruise or two is perfectly ok. The amount of waste the world produces is disgusting.
And dented is fine too...only if rusted or swollen toss...or if dented on the top as that has a different seal under the lid on some...85% of what goes to food banks is past date and many are dented...eat them all the time
@@bradmaunders1733 we eat a lot of dented canned food too. The thing about some of the dented cans is a sharp dent can crack the coating inside the can wich exposes the food to the metal can. Especially anything with tomatoes in it the acid eats the cans in turn the food taste like metal.
@@MDestron2282 I agree. so, i use to work at a different location of our local grocery store, so i know how their mark down system works, especially in the meat and sea food departments. i have an extra fridge with the freezer on top, and the freezer on top of that one is completely full of shrimp and scallops, and a few small lobster tails. yer damn right I will buy a $35 pack of sea scallops for $7, and take them straight home and put them in the freezer for future meals. 99 % of the time the food is still in date when they reduce it.
It infuriates me how much is wasted. We never even look at dates in our pantry. I have a bionic nose if something is off, I’ll know it once it’s opened.
Hey Mile, there is nothing wrong with all those drinks. The date is only a sell by date. They are not expired. I would have grabbed everyone of them. Lol. Dumpsters seem a little empty today. Oh, sorry for your loss of Lou. 😔 Its hard to loose one of your beloved friends. 💜🙏🏻
I would have grabbed them.
My local RITE AID does the same thing! Anybody want to buy a candy bar?
exactly , 6 months after best buy date still safe, people want those , craiglist them they would be GONE! $10 /case
Sorry your Lou dog went over the rainbow bridge 😢 You are good furkid parents...
Yet another song in my head. Who's got the biggest...
Thanks for helping save the planet!
It's a "best by" rather than "sell by" date. But same story ... food/drink doesn't instantly turn bad after that date. It's an estimation by the manufacturer & is generally accurate but also meant to make you buy more.
The drama though with the dumpsters kills me!!!😂😂😂😂 Thank you for the laughs today. So sorry about Loudog.
Losing pets always leaves holds in one’s heart 😭Thank you for your videos.
Dang sorry to hear about Loudog! I was interested in what the heck a ledge lounger was so I went on the old Google and looks like they are pillows to a ledge lounger and they're 149 bucks a pop. Good score Mr. Mike!
Mike on energy drink??? OMG...dude has more energy than ten men. As a matter of fact, I often wondered about his wife being alone in the evenings while he does night runs...I bet she likes some peace and quiet sometimes! LOL...love Mike.
Right to bad he can't bottle that energy i need some
Hilarious 😂
I bet Mike is really a robot test bed for AI and future battle bot - The Dumpsternator!
@@roberthardy2013 BOL...So possible!
@@alandakingery1413 Don't we all!!??
Fligh over the Rainbow little Guy...I am sorry for your loss, animals are Family too and it is never easy to let them go
Rest in Heavenly Peace Lou Dog!!!!!!! Sorry for you loss Mike, I've been down that road many times, but there will be a dog in my life for as long as there is life in my body.
Parts of a collation machine, stacks printed papers in a certain order for publishing. Crazy to see all those drinks, I find similar all the time and they're never actually bad, just "expired"
Mmmm. Jam, fix it. Jam, fix it. Grrrr!
"who's got the biggest balls of them all" brought back memories and brought a smile to my face
I can't get over Dottie's capability of handling all the stuff you pile in and on her.
..AND mikes capability of handling and getting thing into it..
My condolences to you and your family. It's never easy to say goodbye to a family member. God Bless you and yours.
Those accordions fetch a good price online. Didn't catch the name of the one in the box. But worth looking into.
That accordion 🪗 from 1904 is easily valuable to someone out there in the music field. Also makes a good collector item, at least the one that worked. Those parts tho I would bet you could look up some accordion sights and post what you have and I'm sure someone can tell you if worth something or maybe point you to someone who refinishes old instruments and would want the parts. This off brand Gatorade knock offs are still good for shelters to give out to homeless in that heat. Sorry for your loss bud !😢
That’s a good idea to hand out the isodrinks to homeless on hot days!
Sorry you lost your dog it’s so hard to loose a fur baby! I know he had an amazing home while he was in your house! Great haul! Those isodrinks are fine it had a best by date not an expiration date! As someone else said would be good to donate to homeless!
momma's got a squeeze box and now so does Mike
So sorry to hear about Loudog, thank you for the tribute for him. We love your video's, especially when you find amazing treasures. Can't wait for the update on the accordian, I bet it's a true find.
I am so so so sorry about LouDog, 13 years is never long enough.
And those pots/pans? Would have come home with me. LoL
Sorry for your loss, Mike. Mike, I could be wrong but I used to install some of those smart Yale locks years ago. They simply break down, also some firmware issues happen from time to time. Since they have a motor to automatically close (I think) the motor also gives out after a while.
How much for that old accordion in the box tho? Haha that's awesome.
So sorry for the loss of Loudog, Mike. At least he had plenty of loving care at the end of his road.🙏💕
I’m sorry for your loss xxxx
$1000 in drinks... I would've filled up my truck.
Same here.
i told him run them on craigslist $10 a case , its common to find these even 6months past best by date
So sorry bout Lou dog💔 nice haul again! I love it when u find cool stuff👊
The accordion is a prize!
Run with the wind, Lou Dog! So sorry for your loss.
Even milk doesn’t expire on its expiry date.
Sorry for your loss! Thoughts and prayers for you and your wife!🙏🙏🙏
Great video. I tried a youtube experiment and it worked fine. I bought two 1/2 gallons of my skim milk. Both were dated to use by July 10th. I drank the first one on the 12th. It was fresh. I did not open the other one until 10 days after that. On the 22nd, I opened it even though it said to use by the 10th. So 12 days later it was absolutely still fresh. I no longer throw out milk. I used to by two and if the sell by date passed, I would throw out the un opened one. Milk is cheap here $1.28 a half gallon.
Sorry about your dog. They are indeed family and keep us company and loved.
Sorry to hear about Lou. Can't wait to see the follow up video about the accordions.
It's always a humongous pleasure to follow you Mike ❤❤❤
I been waiting patiently for you drop another video why!? Cause you make your video interesting Nd camera on your head give us full view, some ppl have it on there body it keep bending cant see! Well anyway! Wuzz up!! Mike! Doing what you do best!!! 🤑🤑🤑
🐕🪦💔, liked the brief rendition of AC/DC tune
Great haul! That World's fair instrument I believe is a concertina. Similar to an accordion as far as billows and all goes.
You have my heart felt condolences on Loudog. I have rescues and have lost a few, and it does hurt. But as others have pointed out these furkids do get better lives. I am grateful to take rescued furkids. I just love them all.
Mike Mike Mike!!! Sorry for the loss of Lou dog !
I appreciate you taking us along! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!
Well, you done good! Again! From drinks, aluminum, a little copper, scrap metal, and music instruments/ vintage! Great job Mike. Oh! A dictionary to help with your Spanish lessons.😊
all dogs go to heaven
Mike you truly are a character!! I really enjoy riding along. Thank you for bringing on the smiles. 😊
I lost one this month. Had her spoiled hiney for 13-14 yrs. She was a rescue. Lost another dog last year and had him at least 15 yrs. It's rough, but when they are old, it's a little easier knowing they lived their life out. We laugh about her spoiled ways and how she trained us to take care of her.
Great vid. It would be awesome if someone could do something with that accordion stuff. It's sad to let musical instruments go to waste just because they're old. I hope someone comes forward who could do something with them.
So sorry Mike, my condolences. Good video always entertaining, and informative. Look forward to the follow up, have a good evening.😎👊🏻🙏PEACE AND GOD BLESD
I’m sorry you lost your 🐶 pup I’m sure he’s still loving you from beyond😊
Wow . Love the accordions. When I was a kid I played the accordion and I wish I still had it .That would have been in the 60s.
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲
Super great dive. I will say it again you work hard for your money. Stay safe❤❤❤❤
So Sorry for yoour loss. R.I.P 🐾🐾 🙏
❤❤ I am so sorry for your loss 😢 It hurts beyond words. Sending encouraging vibes
We had a shop about 20 miles away from where I live that sold items that were short dated or had exceeded their best before date. Pretty reasonable prices too, except they had to close down because the landlord wanted a substantial rise in rent, and the local Council changed it so they could no longer have deliveries from the street outside, which really messed them around.
The items are still good to eat or drink after that date, and the majority of items are good even a few years later.
I'm sure someone else would have found and taken them to save them being thrown into landfill. At least I would hope so.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your fur baby.
Looks like you got quite the haul! 🤓✌️😘
So sorry you lost your LouDog. They take a piece of our heart with them. My daughter and family lost their Golden Lab on Monday. We were all devastated! She had cancer tried Chemo made her so sick they decided to stop and just enjoy her and let her enjoy the time she had left. 9 months and up to end she wanted to play and be herself. I enjoyed your dumpster diving today well every time 😂
Mike, it never gets any easier when you lose a pet that has become an important part of the family and has a special place in your hearts. Prayers to y'all. God Bless you and yours and thanks for entertaining us so well. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Love all your videos ! Love all the finds! Much love from Louisiana ❤️❤
So sorry for your loss prayers to you and your family
Pets are family we love them soo much
Can’t wait to find out about the accordion stuff!! You’re the most interesting guy to watch!!
Great finds today Mike!!
Keep em comin y’all 🇺🇸🤘🏽👏🏽
Great video Sir sorry to hear about your loss 🙏🏻. Watching from the U.K.
Sorry about Loudog.. Great finds today as always
Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and all he loves and all who love him.
Sorry for the loss of the pooch. The world "Accordion" to Mike. The beat goes on........
I’m high on the pot while watching this video 👍
I was happy to see a new video today,I'm so sorry about Lou,i also lost a baby today,its never ever easy. My heart hurts as i'm sure yours does. Try and have a beautiful day anyway. 😢💙
Helagonka! Take that accordion stuff! Treasures! Great find!😊😊😊
Sorry for the loss of lou dog. Those accordions part are so cool. Definitely get them appraised man. Love the videos. Im slow to start doing videos myself.
I can't drink energy drinks. they always give me the jitters. you walking around on the edge of that dumpster would have killed this old man. I would have fell off for sure. thanks for another great dumpster diving adventure.
Hugs and prayers! Im so sorry for your loss! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
Dottie is a work horse! Sorry for your loss.
Those knock-off "energy" drinks are still drinkable. They just can't sell them past the expiration date. How are those new boots holding up for you? RIP Lou Dog
Losing your pet is like losing your child because you have become attached to it. Sorry for your loss Mike. I really hope you find someone to buy those old pieces from you and put them back together and take care of them.👍
So very sorry for your loss. I would be devastated if I lost one of my grand dogs. ❤😢
Mike, we are so sorry for your loss. Just know he's in a better place. We'll pray for you and your family and your dog.
run free hooman friend 🙏
Doing it well, Mikey. One client has installed a deeper dumpster. I can climb in but (in my advanced years) I've had to invent a short ladder to get out. My wife thinks it's a hell of a joke!
You always make my day, you're so sweet and humble it's awesome to see 👀 your videos, my grandkids loves you as well ❤️ God bless you always, thanks for making my day😅
The accordions are worth something. I'm sure if you donated them to a music museum they would be so excited. Most definitely valuable.❤ Sorry for your loss.
Why didn’t you take all that Lonestar and sell it?
Sorry to hear about Lou. It's not easy to lose a pet who is really a member of your family. 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢. Hard to lose someone you love. God bless you and your wife 🙏
So very sorry on the loss of your fur family member. Oddly enough my granddaughter when she was a child went by the nick name Lou Dawg. And my father played the accordian. Thank you for your time and entertainment.
Lo lamento mucho un ángel en el cielo un saludo desde españa y mucha fuerza 💪🏼 😢
Looked like some fun stuff today. The accordions were a weird one, never know what you’re going to find…
I am heartbroken for you.. I loved your dog. He was so sweet riding along with you.. sweet dreams Loudog❤️❤️
Yeah! Mikey time!
You folks in Texas would benefit from those so called energy drinks. Great for staying hydrated! They so could have donate them to a shelter for the homeless! Stay safe and healthy Mike! ❤❤❤
Energy drinks will DEhydrate you, as caffeine is a diuretic.
Olá Maike, esse trabalho que você faz eu queria fazer aqui onde moro.
Mike
condolences on the loss of your canine buddy. peace b with him. much love to u n yours.
The things people throw out
Lol. - amazing ! Sorry about
Your loss. Mike . It's never easy .
Mike, I'm sure others have already pointed this out. Research that Accordions that you found pertaining the the worlds fair, because if it is possible you can contact pawn stars and they will allow you to ship them items to possibly sell them. Also there is a big difference in the dates the FDA requires be stamped on packaging for food products. A "Sell by Date" is a date that the store needs to have either sold the product or removed it from it's shelves. A "Use by Date" is a date that is meant for the consumer and stores alike to let you know a date that is considered the last day safe to consume the product within. Now a "Best by Date" is one you might see also, it is a date that considered a reminder or sort of notice to consumers and stores but in different ways, it tells stores that more than likely the should probably discount the items after that date as they are considered to not be top of the line standard in taste and value possibly. Consumers it acts to let us know we can still consumer it after that date but might not be the best, i.e. stale bread.
LOVE THAT DOG !
god speed to him !
My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your dog
I would have taken that whole dumpster of the drinks. Would have been set for a long long time.
Hi Mike all those drinks is nothing compared to what big box stores throw out. My wish is they give to food banks all of this and not go to waste. Even St. Vincent's de Paul has food banks around the country and wish many places would donate. One can oy wish and hope...
Your unknown friend ( me ) sends condolences to you and your family on the passing of your beloved friend and companion. I have
lost so many and each one leaves a scar. Like they say time heals all wounds.
18:00 looks like a window cleaning trolly, or the 2 halves of it without the landing between them. Nice!
Another great trip Big Mike, see you next time!!!!
