Ooooohhpppsss. Yes I got it, but haven't had a chance to check it
out yet, sorry. Now that I'm retired, I find that catching up on
the honeydo's is taking more time, and is harder work, than
working! But then you knew that already...
This past week I've been trying to get the rotted out, falling down
split rail fence around the Ranchette brought back up to
appearances. For that I have to cut a commercial $4 rail down to
size, and hunt for fencepost holes, which takes a long time per
hole because you have to dig so deep through tree roots and hard
red clay soil to confirm you've found one. :-)) Yeah, I know,
don't quit my day job...
Doing 2 holes and 4 rails per day in this heat and humidity is about
all this old f--t is good for. Its been in the high 80's at 90+%
here for a week, real killer weather, and its got me talking about
moving to Maine. Or the south pole maybe.

Let me get caught up on the homework here (or some rainy weather so
I can take a break) and I'll be glad to investigate further. But
after the fence, I have to make about 20 gallons of wood treatment
for aging decks etc dissappear too.
