Coat hangers are great

When all else fails, and you can't quite get the right tool you need for an "unplugging" job, a supply of wire coat hangers and a means of cutting them is all you need.
Unplugging a vaccuum hose, making makeshift "wrap ties", and whatever else the imagination can come up with. 
Another glorious sunny day, more acupuncture, and some time for me.


Ah well....
