Not one bit of a tool; unless easing a chore counts?

[JoeVanGeaux]

Though not necessarily a tool topic, but some time back we (one of my sons) rescued four of these guys when their mother was found drowned in a nearby creek. Eenie, Meenie, Miney and Moe lived to wander out of their outside enclosure to gradually acclimate to the wild, never to return (we think). They lived inside our home for a time long enough for even me to sense I'd reached the limit of my wife's tolerance. I suppose you could refer to them as "adorably ugly"!!! LOL

Well, to make amends for this stray from the topic, I made an extra large rain gauge from a large vase, calibrated it and put an orange ping pong ball in it so I can approximate rainfall from deluges at a safe distance. It floated too high for my liking and I thought of back-filling it with some clay, epoxy or BBs so it would float at its middle to make reading even easier, but I didn't want to replace the calibration marks I made on my gauge.
