Treadmill
More stuff as part of a big clear out ahead of moving.
This is tough one to let go off. It’s been an amazing treadmill for the years I’ve had it and it’s got high end features that you don’t get anymore unless it’s a commercial unit.
This has a long bit that you can run on and stride out without falling off. 18 levels of incline and slow release hydrolic to keep you safe when lifting it up and down.
Kill switch line which you attach to your tshirt and if you tumble it pulls off and stops the machine.
Has a fan and mp3 player cable. I use an adapter and play my iPhone through it.
It’s got pre programming as well but I never used that much.
Now for the bad news -
1: I think the mat need some help because it’s got a bit of a wrinkle or pucker (?) and is rubbing on one side.
2: when my daughter started using it she thought she broke the screw thing that locks into place to keep the tray up when not in use. She freaked out and tried to “fix” it ( it wasn’t broken) with glue so now the screw doesn’t automatically lock into place place - I have to manually screw it in and take it out.
3: when I went to move it after I got a shoulder injury (hadn’t been used much since then) I was too lazy to pull the power plug out and it knocked on the door frame and the plastic frame that the plug sits it broke. I’ve put a picture in. I’ve tried to find someone to fix it but haven’t had the money to take a punt on having people come over to check it. It works fine ( I’ve got the power in without the plastic bit ) but this is the reason I’m giving it away rather than selling it.
I can’t take it with me and I’ve busted my knee anyway so have to go to a bike so if anyone knows how to dispose of these ( if no one wants it) can you let me know?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Homicide investigation underway in east Auckland
A homicide investigation is underway following two assaults aboard a bus in east Auckland on Monday evening.
One man has died with a second man receiving serious injuries after they were attacked in two separate incidents aboard the number 76 bus travelling from Glen Innes towards Ōrakei.
A team of investigators are actively searching for the offender, who remains at large this morning.
Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin, of Auckland City CIB, says Police were notified by ambulance about two separate assaults around 8pm.
At this stage Police have established the offender boarded the bus at Apirana Avenue in Glen Innes at 7.53pm.
Assault 1: Fenchurch and Taniwha Streets
“The first victim boarded the bus at 7.56pm and travelled a short distance before moving to exit the bus at 7.58pm,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says. “The only other passenger aboard initiated an attack on the victim, before he could exit the bus near Fenchurch Street in Glen Innes.”
During this assault, the victim has suffered a fatal knife wound. “The victim, is aged in his 50s, and managed to flee from the bus, before it continued on route.
Assault 2: in the vicinity of Coates Avenue and Kepa Road
The 76 bus continued on route and around 8.09pm, the second victim boarded the bus.
“A man aged in his 40s sat at the back of the bus where the offender moved towards him,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says. “The second unprovoked assault began when the offender approached the victim at the rear of the bus. The offender initiated a fight and quickly produced a knife and assaulted the victim. After a short confrontation the second victim managed to flee from the bus, along with another passenger and the bus driver near the bus stop at Coates Avenue and Kepa Road."
The offender eventually exited the bus himself and was last seen fleeing on foot.
Investigators seeking offender
Police staff have worked through the night to identify the offender responsible for both unprovoked attacks. This has included 2 scene examinations. The bus has been secured and will be examined today.
“I can advise the community that we are following positive lines of enquiry to identify this man, and our priority this morning is to locate and arrest him. Detectives are currently supported by members of the Armed Offenders Squad,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says.
Police have reviewed CCTV footage from inside the bus.
Detective Inspector Baldwin says: “I’m appalled at the unprovoked violence used by this offender against two men who have done absolutely nothing wrong, and one has tragically and needlessly lost his life.
“Our investigation is still in its infancy, but we are committed to understanding the motive and exactly why such violence took place aboard a bus last night."
“I know this horrific event will leave the community unsettled, but please be assured that our investigation team is doing all we can to locate this man.”
Police have spoken with a number of people but ask anyone with additional information to come forward.
Please update Police online now or call 105 using the reference number 251208/7471 or Operation Gyle.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
