Ideas for Dad

In two years, dad could be the proud owner of a used satellite.  (I prefer to call them satellites, though people today try to make them sound better by calling them dishes).  Anyway, here are some of my ideas to recycle a used satellite.  No need to put them into a trash dump. 

 

Shade satellite. Colored green, you hardly noticed that it was once a hideous monstrosity in someone's yard.   

 

 

Swing satellite.  Nothing better then to be rocked to sleep by the gentle swinging of your used satellite. 

Chicken coop satellite covering.  Nothing better for the outdoorsman who wants to collect his own fresh eggs. 

 

Potted plant satellite.  Who wants to go out and lug a huge pot home when you have a used satellite hanging around.  Just flip it over on a tree stump and there you have it...a homemade pot. 

Art satellite.  Take all those little pieces of glass hanging around your home and glue them on your used satellite and then put it on a stand in your garden.  No one would even guess it was your old satellite. 

Satellite hat.  Now you might think this is silly, but how many times have you been outside and wished for a little shade on your head.  Well, here is your chance.  Just attach your satellite to some headgear and you have a reversible umbrella for your head. 

Hero satellite.  What would impress your grandsons more...a used satellite in the garage, or grandpa's own hero shield?  I think I've proved my case for the future use of your new satellite.  Cheer up!
