As the Pile grows...

[normblitch]

Refining my hose lengths has gone a long way to establishing the Zen of Hogarth, but leaves me with another problem...

I am NOW accumulating a crate full of hoses (varying types), and have foolishly discarded the protective "End Caps" supplied at point of purchase...while I'm not EXACTLY a peer of Peanut's Pigpen character, I'm NOT the most surgically-clean guy around either. In the off-hand chance that the unused hoses will one day find another use, I'd like to NOT aspirate stray dog-hair, Starbucks air-dried coffee, and Lord knows What-ALL.

Can anybody recommend a source for for the protective hose-end covers?

Coil them up and stick them in ziploc bags, keeps stuff out of both ends.

Finger rubbers? They look like male condoms, but are real small. They are sold at the drug store in the first aid section. Small enough to go over a cut finger. :?: I use them as practical joke gifts, always get alot of laughs.

I WANT the gov't to read my thoughts! That will teach them. I want them to think about whipped cream. I want them to worry about having their cat's shaved. And fleas. Don't forget fleas. Rhinoplasty, always remember Rhinoplasty. And a Bay full of Pigs. Floride in our water. Area 51. What did happen to Michael Jackson's old nose? Please don't squeeze the Charmin.

Just get a few exam gloves (nitrile if you can), cut the fingers off, and attach them with the twisty tie thingys you never actually use with the garbage bags they came with.

Or just put them all in a garbage bag (fresh).

OSHA requires all stored hoses for commercial use to be sealed at both ends. We've always just taped them up with blue masking tape. No trouble with leaving sticky residue.
