Smokey got a new bucket and tool holder insert for it. This will be his carry-it-to-the-site toolbox.
The second time he tried to show it to me and explain all its finer points, I told him that, nice as it was, it had already received all the attention it deserved.
However, I do need to show you one more thing about the bucket.

Look what I discovered! These are going to be my new go-to lunches at work. <$4 each, often good for two meals.
Even better, look at the ingredients lists:
I could hardly believe it -- everything in that list is REAL FOOD! No multi-syllabiccally named chemicals nor preservatives nor *flavor enhancers*.
Of course, the real test is in the eating and the tasting, and these prepackaged meals passed those tests with flying colors. I cook up a pot of brown rice periodically and serve half of one of these over a small bowl of it. Yum. (Except for the ones with spinach. I like spinach, but not, apparently, in these. But there are plenty of different choices, so no problem, mon!)

A couple days ago I got a cortisone shot in the hip, so I am walking (largely) pain-free again.
Life is good.
Yay for mostly pain-free walking!
Love that bit on the bucket. *snort*
Hmm. Intriguing meals - where did you find them?

It is also important to note that the bucket is a gorgeous shade of yellow.

I'm nit sure which is funnier to me, the idea of bucket as hard hat or the fact that I completely understand the phenomena of the second explanation. I can't wait until I've been married long enough to be able to stop it in its tracks as you did.

Waaaaaait wait wait wait. NOT to be used as a hard hat?
Well damn. I guess I need to buy a hard hat now too. WHEN WILL IT END.

Still snorting at the bucket. Because you know they only issue warnings like that because someone actually did it, then tried to sue them. I should probably check the Darwin Awards...

Who has a head that big? o.O
Waiting for feedback on those meals. No added crap is HUGE!

Hmmm, I'm not sure what it says when my first thought about the bucket was "Hey, that could probably be put to good use for knitting projects."

That shit will kill you.
When I first saw the top picture, I thought I saw the radioactive sticker, and I thought it was a pretty bad-ass toolbox.
I am having a bad week. Pardon the cursing.
