Powder monkey

I spent a number of summer vacations with my aunt and uncle at a Nevada gold mine in company housing. I ate many a meal seated in the kitchen upon just such a box. The best meals ever, too. She was a real cook and feeding hungry son, husband, and one growing nephew.

My uncle was a mechanic and my much older cousin was a powder monkey. Had another Herc box to stow my cars and trucks when I wasn't playing. Great memories.
