I (reluctantly) accepted Jeremiah’s ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and nominate my friends Matt, Klara, and their son Mason to participate and raise awareness for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN - You can pick it up and carry it wherever you want! Doesn't hold much water, though...
I made this stump bucket for a skid steer loader from my scrap metal supply. The tops of the teeth are made from a car spring which is hardened. The thick scraper across the bottom front was from part of a city snow plow section that is not only thick but hardened. I ran into a concrete wall with the bucket and it did not affect it all. I removed a 12" stump plus the roots with this. It was about an 8 foot circle of wood and roots. I copied this bucket from an ebay version.
My usual bucket is too wide and has no teeth and cannot dig very well in clay or frozen ground. I hope this bucket will solve these problems.

I have also made a backhoe attachment, a log splitter and a boom grapple for my Bobcat. They are heavy and require some work to attach. The boom grapple design can be seen on the internet, possibly ebay too if it is still on there. It was invented in Florida to load hurricane debris into high sided trucks. It extends the upper reach of the loading ability. My design is only slightly different. See the following for the boom grapple I made: flickr.com/photos/21702692@N05/2156494569/
The backhoe design is similar to one sold by Northern Tools but mine has a bigger bucket: flickr.com/photos/21702692@N05/2199209170/

The tweed on the exterior is the perfect backdrop for the brown and pink cotton on the inside.
This is the largest size bucket at 8" in diameter.
The New York City Fire Museum
278 Spring Street, NYC

ABOUT THE MUSEUM:
The New York City Fire Museum opened as the Fire College Museum on Long Island City in 1934. In 1959 the Museum moved to a firehouse at 100 Duane Street in Manhattan, where it remained until the Home Insurance Company presented its collection of fire memorabilia to the city in 1981, making a move to larger quarters imperative. The Friends raised funds to renovate a 1904 Beaux-Arts firehouse on Spring Street in Soho, which is now the Museum's home.
Displays illustrate the evolution of firefighting from the bucket brigades of Peter Stuyvesant's New Amsterdam through the colorful history of volunteer firefighters to modern firefighting techniques and equipment. The building also houses a special memorial to the 343 firefighters who died on 9/11. A video room and a miniature apartment with an artificial smoke machine and black-lighted fire hazards are used in the museum's fire education program for school children ages k through 12.
The Museum attracts over 30,000 visitors a year, many of them foreign tourists, and, using light-duty and retired firefighter volunteers, conducts an active tour program for visitors in addition to self-guided visits.
The New York City Fire Museum houses one of the nation's most important collections of fire related art and artifacts from the late 18th Century to the present. Among its holdings are painted leather buckets, helmets, parade hats and belts, lanterns and tools, pre Civil War hand pumped fire engines, horse drawn vehicles and early motorized apparatus.
The history of an organized firefighting force began with the Rattle Watch, men who would prowl the streets at night, keeping a watchful eye for fires. If fire was spotted they would spin their rattles and the racket would alert the residents to grab their buckets and run to the fire.
One of the earliest fire engines in the collection is the "Farnam" style engine, which was built in New York around 1790, and is one of the oldest fire engines in North America. Many other engines are housed at the museum, like the four-wheeled hose reels (the Steinway Hose No. 7 and Astoria Hose No. 8), a horse drawn 1901 LaFrance steam engine, a 1912 steamer with a gas powered Van Blerck tractor, a horse-drawn ladder wagon, as well as early rescue gear and breathing equipment, alarm boxes from various eras, and motorized vehicles (such as a 1921 American La France engine).
Besides apparatus, the Museum exhibits an astonishing number of other fire service accouterments from New York City's early years. Rare painted parade hats, speaking trumpets, leather fire buckets, uniform parts and insignia, tools and lanterns, and decorative elements from equipment are on view in quantity. It has a collection of over 2,000 fire marks, the fire insurance company advertising emblems. Also on display are the modern tools and clothing of the modern firefighters. The transition from turnout coats to all encompassing bunker gear can be seen on a series of mannequins. Tools such as the Halligan forcible entry tool and the Jaws of Life are on view.

Project Flickr - Week 28 - Different Camera
I actually took this shot yesterday and I happened to have my other camera with me. My bridge camera is a whole lot easier to carry about than my dslr ! Hope nobody minds me adding to the group.

Great frustration today. The worst snow for 18 years, and my camera is at the menders. Luckily Ponks came to the rescue with her birthday special. Hoorah!!
These buckets must be kept full of water and used only in case of fire.. BY ORDER.

I was watching this guy rake his leaves for a while before taking this. Rake, fill bucket, empty, repeat.
i think that there's another location near lax that serves huge oven pancakes. this one doesn't serve breakfast though.
I imagine it's handy to have a bucket of cash hanging around
two forms of "Thoughtless Design"--adapting a bucket for money and the coat rack as a hanger for it.
