Hey- I'm *glad* I've got a neighbor who is a considerate as the Prof.

Thanks. It is partly for the benefit of the neighbors, but mainly for
my wife. I usually take them out about 6am when I get up. she is still
sleeping and the bedroom window is right above the driveway. I've
taken to taking them out the night before since the new driveway.

If I was him I'd cut two rubber bands out of an inner tube and snap
them on the wheels.

First, I'd need to find a 10" inner tube, then a way to keep it in
place. Maybe an 8" tube, so I'd really have to snap it in place.

I think you are looking at this wrong. A tube from a car tire might
work, maybe a little smaller. Don't use the whole diameter of the tube.
Lay it flat like an "O" and cut it from the inside to the outside, you
could cut 30 or so rubber bands from one tube. And the local tire store
probably has a few old tubes free of charge.

Aha! Use the cross section -- not the diamater. Duh. I probably never
would have thought of that. Thanks.
