At least the county guys had to work for
their money, this time. Wish the gov't would
respect the wisdom of the populace.

Yea. And they removed the plastic garbage can that I had bolted
to the end curve of a guardrail where people drink & leave debris.

It's getting harder and harder to be a good Samaritan nowadays ...

From the page referenced in the URL above:
"PART # B3
Solid base cap Black, solid cap for tank storage or
transportation. Black cap is fine thread and typically fits
older Briggs and Stratton, Rubbermaid, essence, and Gott cans."

Note the word, "older".

My guess is that they won't fit the -newer- plastic cans
such as Danny is referring to.
