  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

What do you do with your empties?

If the box is the right size I like to make chocolate covered pretzels and repackage the box to make it look like I bought another box, and then surprise the wife with it. I do it every 6 months or so, and the Mrs. Loves the tasty surprise!

This is an example of what I did a few months ago. http://imgur.com/a/g7EpH

That's genius. I'm stealing that idea!

Hobby Lobby. They have a 4 pack with the small hands for 19. Or single motors for 7.

I recycle them or pitch them. I would love the space to save and reuse my empties, but I have kids using that space for now.
