[RC] Are you sure/Angie? & Buckets - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Angie McGhee Rides2far@xxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== "He's like sitting on the edge of a cliff waiting for an earthquake." Tracy (the one who wants a lock of Kaboot's hair in case cloning gets affordable) Don't bother worrying about cloning Kaboot. Sounds like you already have. >g< I'll just give you one discouraging bit of advice. 100 milers didn't give him one bit of religion. They just made him stronger. :-P As for buckets: Twice I've bought cheap laundry detergent just to get the lidded bucket, and both times I ruined some clothes when the detergent apparently had bleach in it and left faded streaks. (I'd forgotten the first time when I tried again). It would have been cheaper to buy the detergent then dump it in the garbage & keep the bucket. Once I was on my way to a ride and a guy was selling buckets on the side of the road (how opportune). They'd had pickles in them. Took forever for the smell to go away. I've also followed behind dry wall guys. Check with somebody who does sheet rock. They use tons of the spacking or whatever and trash the buckets. They look rough but the stuff comes right off with water...much faster than pickle smell. Personally, I got tired of hurting my fingers on the lids. I prefer to put a kitchen size garbage bag in the bucket, fill it up and tie it off. Leaf size bags work well in a muck bucket. Just push the whole bag down inside the water when you get there, then the bag will float right up to the top & remove it.

Besides, if everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow?
