Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 31, 2012

Three?? I’d settle for two…

Strange thoThey still work.

looking through my jar I see the lug nut with thread where you turn left to tighten, the other one where you turn right to tighten, and that new metric thing I don’t know which way it tightens

david_42: You sound like my mother! However, when something needed fixing, the “loot jars” were where the repairs came from.

We used to call storage containers like that ,“My Hell Box”.

Heck, I’ll settle for a nut that fits the screw I need.

My husband keeps all his nuts, bolts, screws, washers, etc. in storage drawers like this. No rummaging around needed in order to find more than one of the same thing because if he’s got it, they’re all right there together in the same place!

Johnny Galt: I always thought the hell box was where one put used or error-filled Linotype slugs prior to remelting. Now, everyone can go to Google to find out what I am talking about.

The older my collection get the better my chance to find 3 of a kind.
