Gizmos That I Like - Part 3

I am looking at the weather report and Sunday's show is not looking good.  I need the Sun god to work his magic.  Clouds are fine, just not RAIN clouds.  Oh, yeah ... I am still working on the post about bits.  I know everyone is VERY disappointed about the lack of bit info, but be patient, it's coming.  So for now, another post about my favorite Gizmos.  

The Gamma Seal Lid is one of the coolest inventions, and can be bought from many vendors for around $4.00 each.  They snap onto most standard-sized "paint" buckets although once you snap it on, forget about getting it back off!  I have at least 6 of them and use them for horse feed and our dog's food. 

Once you snap the frame on (see the yellow one in the photo), the lid screws on and off.  They are airtight and leak-proof as well as EXTREMELY sturdy.  I sit on mine all the time.  These make the BEST containers for storing feed and for bringing feed on the road.  

I bought a bunch of those orange "paint" buckets at Home Depot and snapped the lids on.  I keep one in the trailer for feed and cookies that goes with me for lessons and shows.  The others are in my tack room for grain, beet pulp, and rice bran.  And the best part about them is that they keep out bugs and rodents!

I should also mention that they come in MANY colors.  I color coded my buckets for the feed stored inside; yellow for grain (I haven't found a green one!), white for rice bran, and red for beet pulp (can't remember why I picked red for beet pulp!), etc.  My blue one is for the trailer since most of my trailer stuff is blue, and our black lab has a black one for dog food.  I even keep a spare one in the utility room waiting for a job.  You just never know ...
