Re: HYB: tips - stupid sendhappy puter

hmm, desicant.... you said powdered milk I think...

see, now, I wasn't thinking about the desicant.

I'm always good for an idea... but it's not always a good idea...

  Christian, I really like the idea. How would you handle the desiccant 
  with the binder?
  
  I've been doing this for over 20 years.  My kids would just sigh and 
  say . . . "irises!"

  There it goes again!
  
  As I was saying. They make those sheet protector type pages for three
  ring binders that are slotted to hold slides, or floppy discs or 
  CD/DVDs,
  or whatnot. If you load those into a 3 ring binder, and load Betty's
  post-it envelopes into the slots in some sort of logical orginization,
  you would be able to get right to the pollen you wanted without much
  fuss.
  
  Of course, then you would have to explain to people why there is a 3 
  ring
  binder in your freezer.

  Can't find my narrow long tweezer/forceps I usually use, was frustrated
  using the big fat clunky hemostat type forceps. Nearly impossible to
  get behind stamen to pluck anthers.
  
  Finally had the bright idea to file them thinner, with tips as thin as
  regular tweezers. Works great.
  
  Also, had the bright idea to drive rebar type electric fence posts into
  the ground and put the two hollow beach handles of beach umbrellas on
  them over a couple of clumps of potential pod parents - very stable &
  kept them warm as temps hovered around freezing.
  
  Any other innovations?
