Steve, on the power cords have you ever used the Wonder Winder? Man, I got me one years ago and love it. Usually about $20 bucks.
.....or take that old drop cord self winding reel and make you a drop cord out of it too.

EDIT: Wonder Winder...and shop around for price.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
