Three small mods and additions

One is two longhorn iron PCs. we got in Amarillo, I mounted them on wood from Lowe's I stained and varnished.
The second are larger chair glides, as my desk chair snags the carpet when sliding it in and out, the larger glides heal quite a bit.
The third is a bead Sue had, she filed the hole to fit the spoke end, she broke the first one, the final one was filed with a round file to fit the threaded spoke end-top. It took her about an hour of filing, her fingers are sore. I glued it to the spoke end and threaded it onto the spoke for the screen door. Purrty!

Thanks, folks.
I will hang the Longhorns next to the dresser by the TV to hang 'stuff' on. I'll take pictures.
Yes, Sue I do relax a little, yesterday we got our shipment in of wind socks, yard spinners, fiberglass RV flagpoles, and all sorts of wind toys, made our first sale to a neighbor! I will relax running 'Wizard of Oz Wind Toys' my new business........got's to be doing something.
Today Sue will put on her Tony Gongalez football Jersey, we will go to the new sports bar here in town, and watch the Chief's play footsball.
Then go to the outdoor flea market, I will see about getting a booth....maybe. I'm not much of a shopkeeper.

Ozz, I do believe that your Montana will probably be the only that appreciates instead of depreciates as time goes by!! As far as a little something to do how about Mods by Ozz? Or Ozz' Mods!!! But then again you would be waaaaaay to busy for the fun stuff. I sure hope these are all being put in the new catagory (can't come up with the title now) so I can easily find them! Thanks for sharing!

Mfoss, you are too kind. I do have a link at the very bottom of my picture that has most all of the pictures, kind of scattered around, but you can get the general idea, I think there are around 115 pictures or so.
You know I traded in a Keystone Sprinter with tons of mod's on it, but i think they haven't sold it yet, probably opened up the electric panel and closed it real fast!

Yessir, Steve and Vicki gave Sue and I the spoke, most have bent the spoke, don't know why, I just used it straight, it only takes a 1/8" notch in the slide, (I recommend changing to a clear slide,)just cut off the 'nub' on the end, and bend it around into a 'J' and drill a small hole in the Black plastic handle.
Good luck.
