Bean Counting

This week, I am starting a 100% inventory of all my UAV parts. It takes me about 2 weeks to do, since it is just me in my section, and because I have so many parts. Just to give an idea of how many, I added up the quantities in my Excel spreadsheet and it was over 22,000. BUT, I would guess that about 20,000 of them are little things like screws, nuts, washers, etc. I still have to count them all, though! Some of them are in my office, but most of them are in this trailer, called my S280. Whenever we travel, it hooks up to the back of a 5-ton truck. The S280 has 3 large cabinets inside, where I keep all the parts.
