Rain, mosquitos, what are these things that you speak of? Ain't got them things here in the desert. At least not lately.

Feel free to stop by and take a quart or more with you. Skeeters first.

People who rent can just flush a mass of them down the toilet.

Stick am empty plastic water bottle in it, tie the top and give it to your dog for a chew toy. They love the sound & texture. Make sure you remove the cap & ring so they're not choke hazards...

Stuff them with mothballs and put them where the damn rabbits burrowed under my back porch.

Here in the desert,we use them for hot weather driving gloves......

I say "darn sock" as I throw it in the trash.

Back in the day an oil soaked sock was a good way to put up a handgun for long term storage.

* Oil soak that weakling blown-out sock and stuff it in a tupperware to wipe down garage/yard tools after use.

* Wax up that shotgun/rifle stock. Toss on brush pile to burn.

* Clean/polish dies. Toss on brush pile to burn.

* Out of coffee filters? Nevermind...stupid weakling sock has a hole in it. Toss on brush pile to burn.

* Want to strain out a parts cleaning agent? Poor it on through that pathetic sock. Toss on brush pile to burn. Perhaps stand back when igniting this one.

Steve: I just returned from attending the "Big Reno Gun Show" where I saw one of the best uses of old cotton socks ever; A fellow vendor near me had a bunch of Winchester lever actions on display racks. People couldn't keep their hands off of them. Periodically during the day, this man pulled two old socks out of his 'kit' and put a little gun oil/preservative on one and put it on his left hand. He then put a dry sock on his right hand. He would pick a rifle off the rack and wipe the metal with the left handed sock and then finish by wiping off the entire rifle with the right handed sock. I learned something! I will be doing that at the next gun show I attend as a vendor. ............

Dead socks? Old socks never die they just move on to another life.

Cut the toes off, and stick your arm in it. Works great for those times you have to reach into a tight dirty greasy location to keep your arms clean.

I knew a guy who lived in AZ, he would use tube socks to protect his arms when he was working in the sun. I never understood why he didn't just wear long sleeves.
