This is Shadow_8472, and this week I did not complete my intended project for the week, but I did finish something interesting nonetheless. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red or Blue?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God has blessed my family to the point where when we pull out the Christmas decorations in November or so, we ask ourselves, \u201cDo we want a red Christmas or a blue Christmas this year?\u201d We then set up our artificial tree and garlands and adorn them tastefully from our \u201cred\u201d or \u201cblue\u201d bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact: God has blessed us such that we could surprise my aunt some years back by getting a skinny artificial tree for our Christmas party. Circumstances dictated this tree as now our main tree this year, and we were able to bless a school run by our church with not just our large tree, but also some smaller ones for a few classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Christmas is over. It\u2019s time to put things away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let-There-Be-Christmas Boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the likely event we are with the school next Christmas, my mother, Annie_8472, wanted to re-organize our buckets into our usual red\/blue\/both categories plus a number of classroom kits with our tiny trees and decorations for them. For each of red and blue things, we have a bucket for shatterproof balls, a case for smaller themed ornaments, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of my contribution was hauling buckets between the living room and garage. I spotted a few buckets in comparatively poor condition, and arranged for them to end up at the bottom of the bucket stack. Annie clearly marked each bucket she used and had me aim them out when shelving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same sorting system can be used with anything. Fabric \u2013for example\u2013 can be sorted by color or material. Rank your items\u2019 most important qualities, and store the most similar stuff together. This way, other people can find things (and put them away when done).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red or blue?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning from my Robotics Lab!
