I have a dilemma. snip

And I've got an old plasic bucket.

Any odd bolt, nut, screw, nail, or whatever, off of old tools,
cars, wherever, goes in it. When I needs something off the wall, I look
in the bucket. Sometimes I find it, sometimes not. Be a waste of time
trying to organize any of it.


My dad has that bucket for nuts and bolts. I can't imagine the amount of
time my granddad and I wasted looking for the one nut, bolt or washer in
that bucket that wasn't "too big" or "too small" for a repair job we were
doing on a piece of machinery. Would have saved way more time to have
sorted and organized that bucket than all the times we went through the
bucket sorting it one bolt at a time (yeah, back then I wasn't thinking
either -- I guess I just sort of thought that's how everybody did things).
