MOTM

My wife Dale doesn't cook. Not at all. In fact, if I'm in the kitchen and
she comes in and I ask her to get me a frying pan, she doesn't know which
cabinet to look in.

She once tried to bake a potato in the microwave and forgot about it shortly
after putting it in. The potato caught on fire and destroyed the microwave.
I don't let her use the new one now...

So, Saturday evening I decided to barbeque chicken. In a weak moment or
something, Dale offered to help clean up. She put the left over chicken into
a zip-lock bag and put it in the fridge.

Sunday night I didn't feel like cooking, so took the left-over chicken out
of the fridge, and nuked it in the microwave. Only when I took the chicken
out to place on the plates did I notice a small label on the zip-lock back
it was in...

I've gotten one or two bags that looked like they'd been through the 
ringer a few times, I have no problem with that.

I've also got lots of those black 8-32 screws that I'm not using 
because I had to buy shorter ones for the flat rails. And solder, 
good grief! I must have about 5 lbs of no clean solder leftover, even 
after finishing a bunch of Blacet modules. Paul is EXTREMELY generous 
with the solder. I'd be happy to send bags, screws, and solder back 
to Texas.

hello all,
well i never use my bags for food, but 90% of mine go to the studio where i
work for keeping stuff like lengths of old EMI tape (the choice of tape for
space-echos et al), and those small heaps of nuts and bolts that
mysteriously appear on the studio floor about a week after a big session

of course, the large bags are perfect for keeping stuff like USB & firewire
cables in order

i also use a quadruple layer of them to prevent that silicone heatsink stuff
from infecting all my other DIY bits
this of course has to be regularly changed, and i find myself ordering more
modules to keep up my depleted bag supply

honest !

The large bags are great for moving marijunana, and the smaller ones work well for speed.

Kidding.  

It's really hard to get the last bits out of the stiff corners of the bags.

No, really kidding this time.  I mean, not kidding that I was kidding, but kidding overall.  One big kid.  The kind that already had a beard in 5th grade and beat you up.  Please don't send me to jail, they wouldn't let me solder there.

Speaking of, I am actually running short on organic solder!  My wife used a bunch on an art project (making decanter labels out of bits of wire soldered onto SIMMS, spelling out "Tequila", "Curaco" (sp?), and "Buttershots").  And I'm working on a MiniWave (finally!).  Plenty of the no-clean stuff, though.
