I'm going to have to get a job where they throw away something more substantial than old code. I can have all the buckets of old bits I can carry [that would be computer 'bits' ... 1 and 0's] but it's difficult to make anything meaningful with them.

Tough to weld those bits for sure.

The company is moving to Shakopee in a about a month and they want to move as little as possible so bins upon bins, large bins on wheels, are being thrown out. I'd rather forgo the dumpster dives and have the company stay where they are but that's not going to happen so I may as well benefit somehow.

Wow, you get to drive to within a few miles of my house every day. I am sure you are looking forward to that.

Where exactly in Shakopee?

Just east of Canterbury Downs race track. Just north of 169. I'm guessing it'll add 10 minutes to my morning commute and 15 to my evening commute. I am not looking forward to it but I just need to tough it out for about 4 more years and I'll be home free. At least that's my plan.

I'd guess they are about 5 feet by three feet by three feet tall. That's about as big as will fit in the elevator. Engineering is on the second floor so we are limited to what we can bring up and down in the elevator.

Ed, that sounds really thin, are they just the rollers and cages without the races?

The flat washers in the bag next to the upper bearing are used with that bearing. I didn't get any of the washers for the lower bearing but they are cheap and available from McMaster if I were to need them.
