[sdiy] Major Score in the Dumpster at work!

[harry]

Keep some old clothes in the trunk of your car... and dive !

Funny, I got some pots that were being thrown away. Just a few days ago..
a service tech was looking for some... "We have none in stock"... I smiled
and told him they were all thrown away in the warehouse purge.

The I mentioned I salvaged them and he could have them the next day.
Hope some bosses read this... Its better to have the old stock somewhere
nearby... just in case (or just in time)...
