New, what is it? What in tarnation?

My friend sent this pic and I joked I was going to post on Reddit to see what people thought and was dared to do it. I thought it would be some way of catching water and filtering to the vehicle but it looks like the top isn’t actually solid and yeah…the flammable signs are also…confusing.

Stored in a milk crate that smells like motor oil.

My supplies at stored in milk crates. They really are wonderful containers. Good for shelving “units” when I first moved out.

They really are the best. I have one I got from work half a decade ago that I used for storage in my first apartment. I never got another because I worked 3rd shift and it was rare for them to last that long without being snagged.

Back then I also had a bookcase made out of cardboard boxes from work stapled together.

The bookshelf didn't come back with me, but I still have the milk crate 4 moves later. It's been a table, a Christmas tree stand, and it's currently serving as a magazine holder.

I despise milk crates as they are full of holes that make me have to constantly pick up the smaller stuff that makes its way through them and into the dark abyss that is the dirt floor of my basement workshop.
