SLOGG and my "trick" photography (see the wires?)

   or- Hit me with your best shot

     I had a posting here telling all about myself, what I do, how I came up with my invention.  Now, I feel that that has run its course...  I now would like to impart some of what i've learned of humanity... humankind, more often, more lately, an oxymoron.   The world is not a very nice place, & people, all too often, really suck. 

     I felt, still feel, that my tool is good for the planet & for the user. Everything I say it does, it does... & that's a lot, it does a LOT...  Its made from quality materials in the USA, - that ain't cheap... I warranty it for a long time,  & if you don't like it I give you your $$ back. 

     Well, I'm a dreamer, because I thought... if its a good product, you stand behind it, offer quality at a good price, people will buy it.  What a schmotz!  Here's the deal...  If I were Goldblatt or Marshalltown... people would buy it.  If I were a large, greedy corporation, capable of pulling the retirement funds out from under the feet of thousands of workers at the drop of a hat to please shareholders... People would buy it.  But me?   I could open a vein to please people &  no one's buys.  I don't get it.  Is it meanness or a sheep mentality ??  

     OF COURSE, I don't mean everybody - I do get pleasantly surprised time to time.   Then again, maybe I have it all wrong about people, and my other hypothesis is correct... I am paying for the sins of a past life.  NAH... I just read the newspaper!  AT THE RISK OF JUST RAMBLING... I'll LEAVE OFF HERE FOR NOW...

SLOGG

Okay...  I'm in a more optimistic frame of mind now...  I find it cathartic to bag the "everything's great" pretense now and again because it doesn't always serve me well.  Give it up and wallow in some good old fashioned woe-is-me's.  I seem to come out the other side with fresh perspectives and new resolve, stronger somehow...                                                                ~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~        As a "Jackie" of all Trades, I went through loads of buckets on an on-going basis.  While my buckets were free, it never felt right to just toss them.  So, I came up with the idea for bucket SLOGG(tm) out of a need for a tool to effectively clean buckets as there was nothing out there that could do the job very well or very quickly.  

     The one I "MacGuyvered" for myself worked better than I imagined it would.  It not only cleaned wet drywall muds and mortars in a flash, it removed the dried products just as easily.  It eliminated product loss from drying on the sides of the bucket and stretched product $$$'s because you could now easily remove all of the bucket's contents.  It sits on the rim of the bucket where you need it and is not "in the way" somewhere else... plus you can stack and separate effortlessly when you have a SLOGG(tm) the rims in between.  As a scoop, SLOGG(tm) is more efficient and less sloppy than traditional flat bladed trowels.

    I have a very long list of things people tell me they've used SLOGG(tm) for... as a paint shield for convex mouldings... cleaning the cement bucket, mixer and wheelbarrel too...  as a horse trough algae remover... as a camping shovel that's easy to store... the right shape to clean a shovel, and so forth...

     I don't need to ennumerate the cost of fossil fuels that go into the manufacture of plastics - We all know it far exceeds the price we pay at the pump.  Plastics production is costly to the environment in the production and disposal.  You can't unmake a plastic ~ it's here to stay.

          ~ So let's get all the use we can out of it !!!!!!!!!!!!
