As promised here are some photos from yesterday's AutoUltimate harvest. 
How about a pointer to the article Laz ? I'm sure the boss will edit any link, but maybe spell it out for us. I'm not too lazy to read, just have a hard time turning pages. 
Most days a small burst of energy would kill me.
I never throw them away without a screening now. 
Freezer, dry ice, or like I do it, lazily, will all work. I just do it the easiest way for me. The fan leaves and stems are separated, stalks cut into 4 to 6 inch lengths. It all gets dried to bone then tossed in small batches into the trim bin which gets covered with heavy aluminum foil. Shake, rattle, roll and the 220 screen does the rest. I had never thought about it until I saw a YouTube video where this Cat was screening his branches. Stunned was I
It's not a huge haul like Major gets, but I always seem to have some on hand to sprinkle on a bowl.
I suppose it will eventually pay for itself in captured kief. 
The ease of loading up the bin with branches and sitting down on the couch, doing hours of trimming instead of standing is priceless though. For my old bones anyways. Now if I could invent a way of trimming without having to look down I could be a rich man. My neck has a definite ache today.
It was an added start up expense Laz.
I find these conversations charming. You grow for yourself Lucas. How much need do you have for trimming? I snap most of the big fans off before I cut and then I take the medium sized ones off and leave the rest to dry. They knock off with ease later, and I keep most of the sugar leaves on the buds. They have the best trichomes. Why would I want to remove them?
Well, I guess if I were making hash with them that might be a different matter, wouldn't it? Hmmmmm...... I'll have to consider that. When I'm using the plant for oil production it's easier to keep them whole, after the fans are removed, that is, so there's very little trimming. With brownies it's the same, only easier. No trimming of the sugar leaves is necessary.
Even when it's for my own smoke I find it easier to leave the sugar leaves intact and knock off any undesirable bits before loading into the bowl.
I guess I'm a little lazier than you Mr. McCain.
It always makes me feel good to hear friends ohh and ahh over the lovely bud "my dealer" sells, while their's only has commercial brick weed. I'm afraid if I brought a bottle of PGA in the house the CEO would resign before I could explain, and I darn sure wouldn't blame her. Me and alcohol used to make many bad decisions together. Used to... 
Don't get me wrong, he's a hell of a wing man, holds his own in bar fights, and truly loved going on benders with me, but we both had to quit or die. 
He used to be, right along with me. Nowadays he is limited to the occasional people food snack. My sober mind worked out that it's a form of abuse to let the fat boy indulge in my destructive behaviors.
