1. A bucket mountable seat and kneeboard apparatus comprising: a top member including a pad;a weight bearing bottom member coupled to the top member, the bottom member having a rigid bottom surface comprising a plurality of linear ribs and an inner and an outer circular rib, wherein a set of the plurality of linear ribs and said inner and outer circular rib are arranged in a hub and spoke configuration, and an additional set of the plurality of linear ribs comprises a rectangular frame around the hub and spoke configuration;a cylindrical groove in the rigid bottom surface intersecting the set of the plurality of linear ribs, wherein the cylindrical groove is concentric with a bucket and the cylindrical groove is configured to receive an entire rim of the bucket and to contact an outermost plane of an end of the bucket with an innermost plane of the cylindrical groove; andwherein the apparatus is configured to function as each of a bucket mountable seat, a kneeboard, and a container lid. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pad comprises a foam pad. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pad comprises a polyethylene foam pad. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises high-density polyethylene. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises polypropylene. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises polycarbonate. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bucket is a drum. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bottom member has a width that is at least equal to a diameter of the bucket. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a length to width ratio of the apparatus is at least 1:1.4. 10. A method of using a bucket as a support comprising: removably mounting a seat and kneeboard apparatus to a rim of a bucket, wherein the seat and kneeboard apparatus comprises a top member including a pad, a weight bearing bottom member coupled to the top member, the bottom member having a rigid bottom surface comprising a plurality of linear ribs and an inner and an outer circular rib, wherein a set of the plurality of linear ribs and said inner and outer circular rib are arranged in a hub and spoke configuration, and an additional set of the plurality of linear ribs comprises a rectangular frame around the hub and spoke configuration, a cylindrical groove in the rigid bottom surface intersecting the set of the plurality of linear ribs, wherein the cylindrical groove is concentric with the bucket and the cylindrical groove is configured to receive the entire rim of the bucket and to contact an outermost plane of an end of the bucket with an innermost plane of the cylindrical groove, and wherein the apparatus is configured to function as each of a bucket mountable seat, a kneeboard, and a container lid; andusing the bucket as a support. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the pad comprises a foam pad. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the pad comprises a polyethylene foam pad. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises high-density polyethylene. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises polypropylene. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein the rigid bottom surface comprises polycarbonate. 16. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the weight bearing bottom member cups the top member. 17. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the hub and spoke configuration is on the rigid bottom surface of the bottom member. 18. The method of claim 10, wherein removably mounting the seat and kneeboard apparatus to the rim of the bucket comprises fitting the cylindrical groove onto an end of the bucket so that at least a portion of the innermost plane of the cylindrical groove contacts at least a portion of the outermost plane of the end of the bucket. 19. The method of claim 10, wherein the weight bearing bottom member cups the top member. 20. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the end of the bucket is either a top end of the bucket or a bottom end of the bucket.
