Not sure if I'm the only one here, but it's come to my attention that one of the greatest inventions there ever was is now a dinosaur & is now outdated technology. It almost pains me when I think about it. I was in Sam's Club earlier this evening pickin' up some picture cds the wife had dropped off last week & saw 'em. Two pretty little wire baskets full of 'em. The greatest invention since sliced bread. The 35mm film canister. The lady told me they don't really use them anymore except for disposable cameras & I could take 'em all if I wanted. So here I sit with 67 complete canisters & 4 extra lids. I'm set forever.

I hit up several of the Walgreens Drug stores in the area. A lot of them reload 35mm film into the little disposable cameras (not as disposable as you thought). I asked them if they would save the empty canisters for me. They did.

I swear.....what some people throw away.

I swear my wife would think you and I were separated at birth crash! I gather up other peoples discards and stockpile them for later use. film canisters, old disc blades, railroad spikes (and RR plates), etc.,etc.
