I'm on the sauce

Nice stuff, Ben. The little Keystone bottle is cool. I have a similar sized bottle that is shaped like a horeseshoe and has a big star on it. I know it's old because it's mold-blown and came out of an early 1900s dump. If I had to guess, I would say that those two might be fancy perfume or after-shave bottles. Definitely something you don't find often!

I had a piece of glass slice through my glove on Sunday and get into my thumb [] Fortunately it wasn't too deep, no stitches and minimal blood. I just licked it clean and kept going [] The gloves saved my @$$ or it would have been much worse! Jim

Ugg. Digging does beat up the hands. I go through a pair of gloves every other day. Leather tipped ones, all varieties, its the tips that take the beating. I have tried just about everything. Even the kevlar ones get messed up. Trying to sell some of the bigger bottles to recoup for the cost of all these gloves I buy.[][] And peroxide and band aids help also. (pass that on to your wife Warren. LOL) Madpaddla

6/6/06!!! It was supposed to be the end of the world so I'd say you got off easy with a cut finger.

Hey Ben, Try diping the ends of the fingers of your gloves in 30 weight motor oil and let them dry good. It helps toughin the leather.

Or you could try to calm down when you find a bottle, take a few deep breaths and slowly dig it out instead of diving in and clawing like a wolf. LoL
