I am going to use the wlp001 yeast for another brew. I am going to transfer my current beer to a keg today but I am not going to brew till saturday. Can I take some of that used yeast cake and store it in a sanatized jar for 2 days and just repitch it?
 
Yes, you'll need aprox 1/4 of the cake. It should be fine for a week.
Leave it under some beer, then decant before you pitch.
