The hundreds of items in those big wooden crates are now being sorted into those "stackable" 5-gallon hard plastic blue bins. Neat bins I've never used before-stacked with exterior ribs aligned, they nest very tightly for shipping. Take the top one and reverse the direction it points and it stands on the shoulders of the one below so it can't slip down and bother the stuff under it. Very ingenious!</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember when you bought a loaf of bread before the little plastic split-tab closure was invented to keep the clear plastic bread bag from unwinding at the end? There was a flat paper strip with a wire down the middle that was twisted to keep the bag end from unwinding. Those I recall were always green. Well I'll now the proud owner of about 200 lbs of that paper-strip-wire in red, yellow, green, black, and blue. I'm looking to make money with that somehow as long as no one manufactures it anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
