All joking asides, that is pretty cool to be able to produce your own decals Lyle.

Just been a piddlin'. Haven't felt well lately. a small cold and several gout flare-ups. The last one was a doozy! in the joint of my big toe. Ouch. Today is better. Anyway,

The kit comes with some lovely hose material for the underside of the trailer. Feeling frisky with the fall weather, I decided to make some springs to hold the hoses up or down as it may be.

Thanks to a JKim recommendation, iIgot some lead wire in various sizes. I think the .010 works pretty well. A toothpick was too large, so I used a push pin. I love these pins with the T-shaped heads.

Springs, perhaps a bit over scale,

and mud flaps....
