[pct-l] bounce bucket

[joel01 at ekit.com]

I left the handle on and had no problem. I did usually tape the 
handle down. The bucket and handle were all solid and intact by the 
end.

However, not everywhere I wanted to mail to necessarily had a way to 
mail the bucket back out. As a result I had both usps boxes and my 
bucket moving up the country. It would have been nice to not use the 
bounce bucket but since I didn't have someone I could expect to mail 
things to me whenever I needed, I felt I had to use it for certain 
replacement items I couldn't readily get hold of otherwise.
