Pluggers by Rick McKee for December 15, 2016

yeah, I’m one of those when I get garden hoses donated to the Salvation Army donation trailer I work at; I stuff it in a bag to prevent future unraveling when packing it away

Hose reels sometimes come in handy.

This time of year in White Bear Lake, Minnesota you can’t roll up a hose because ice isn’t at all flexible.

lots of experience with hoses is the trick.

Or, you can buy the ones advertised as “Never-Kink”

The same for extension cords.

And a real plugger can coil up a rope without wrapping it around his elbow.

Here I thought I was a plugger – guess not. I’m really bad with rolling up the hose.

As long as it isn’t below freezing, anyway…

What’s so hard about that? All it takes is patience. Oh, I forgot. We live in a “microwave” society. No such thing as patience.

My hubby does it in a figure 8. Claims they get less kinks and holes. My method is to leave it laying around. Not lazy, bad back.

I can do that.

it is all in the wrist
