Re: HYB: tips - stupid sendhappy puter

Hey, it's a great idea!
We just need bigger ziplock bags or a smaller note book. There are various things that have the little pockets. Might be able to fold some. My daughter has one of those CD thingys for her car. Would it go in a one gallon bag?

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?
