Hi Ron, Apology accepted, no problem. I think all of us collect things in a different way. No one way is right, no one way is wrong.
Personally I just couldn't enjoy the bungies with all the hanging plastic cords, but just the ends hung together are what I do enjoy. Since you prefer them with the cords there is nothing at all wrong with that. Jim liked my idea and decided to follow that as a guide to do his.
See you at the convention. We are at table 57.
P.S. no bungie ends for sale this year. Janice
