"…...and I almost forgot...……" "4th-the ash bucket is still in the house next to the wood stove... my bad!"
But then there was the wife who called her husband: 1. I got into a fender bender this morning. But at least I didn't have to call a wrecker. That is what I hit. 2. They gave me a loaner car. I'm now out of gas. Could you please bring some to me? 3. I forgot to put wood in the stove before I left. 4. It's that time of the month.
I've got a bucket just like that, minus the big dent, i found in abandoned elk camp about 40 yrs ago, brought it home and use it for ashes from the stove. It comes with a story as well, i've mentioned it before i think on this site.
