Aluminum Bucket Opener
October 11th, 2024I was just talking with someone about disaster preparations, and mentioned my aluminum bucket opener. We store a lot of food in 5 gallon plastic buckets and that opener is a nice tool to have, especially on buckets with very stiff lids. My sons think it’s not manly to use the bucket opener and apply […]

I probably wouldn’t have thought much about it, but when the price for ten shitty plastic razors went to NZ$12 here, I refused to […]
Do You Need a New Iron?
May 19th, 2023My wife’s taste in dresses, skirts and aprons goes back about 150 years.
