Picked up a couple storage bins from harbor freight yesterday. Nice having all my RC screws sorted and easily accessible now.

No more screwing around about screws, @WoodiE?
I use stackable/locking containers I picked up at the container store to put my bulk mcmaster screws/bolts/washers in. I have 3 stacks. 2 for 3mm stuff and 1 for 4/5mm stuff: http://www.containerstore.com/s/gift-packaging/containers/boxes/lock-ups/123d?productId=10028612
Actually I'm looking to do a lot more screwing around... need to place a nice order with McMaster Carr now.
That's not a bad idea. My goal is to make a decent shelving system like this:
Then I can use a mixture of small and medium storage boxes to hold all my RC screws, as well as other hardware such as nails, screws, bolts, bearings, etc I have collected. Most of which are stored in old coffee cans.
If I had a garage, that's probably what I'd do too. For the space I have and quantity of nuts/bolts I have, the little containers work well.

"Roads, where we're going we don't need roads"
This reminds me of my cousin Teddy (...he likes Theodore, go figure). He's drives a triple axle semi, pulling a triple axle vac trailer, he get so stressed during his 10 and 4 shift that when he gets time enough to come hang out I gotta ride him about slowing way down on his tobacco intake. He's tried to circumvent my bitching by getting some sort of electronic smoking device, to which I say "that damn thing and your habit can take full enjoyment of my freshly shovelled porch."

@Alexander_0_1 I hear ya. I drive a tri axle dump truck. I can't stand those e things either.

"Roads, where we're going we don't need roads"
That's a big machine. I drive slower things, dual & single engine scrapers, D7 to D10 dozers, some grader (champion 730A-VHP), and my trusty old JCB 214 backhoe, which is about the slowest backhoe ever, but it and I will out dig a case all day long.
The new Point Break movie (nowhere near as good as original) Probably good if I had never seen original. Hunger games Mockingjay part 2, The Hateful Eight, Game of Thrones Season 5, Banshee Season 3(one of the best show out there in my opinion next to Strike Back) and Star Wars The Force Awakens.

Lol, I got the game of thrones season 5 too. I'm not finished season 1, but I did finish S.H.E.I.L.D seasons 1, and 2, and I happen to think that's a big enough accomplishment for me this week.

A new freezer. Needed something to put my food in since my fridge died and the delivery people won't bring it until the 7th!
The Fridge delivery sucks.
I have finished Game of Thrones Season 1 but can't get time to move through Season 2 so I am just stock piling the Seasons. LOL Kind of like Spartacus I have all the seasons and watched only the first episode.

Bed and mattress for my son, I also picked up a three trumpet air horn for my car.

An iceless cooler and some food to go in it. Another partial solution until the new fridge gets here next week.
Screws for my Savage and a Stampede body.
