The end results. I know it don't look great but I really don't care. Just need to limp this 25yr old cedar fence another 5 years...

Well, this littel microburst decided to show its ugly face just as I was leaving work. I wasn't about to spend more time at work when shift was over just because of some little rain. So, I manned up and toughed it out to the cycle and started home. Wind was really bad. That Ultra is like a sail, it just gathers up all the wind and pushes you all over the place. So, I thought lets just pour on the throttle and push through it and get the F home. By the time I got 5 min from home it was sunny and breezy and had I drove for another 20 min I would have been completely dry.
but by the time I got home my friends party was completely disarrayed and I was informed of the above mentioned fence in shambles and decided to help my bud, Gas Man, out and get the fence back up. Didn't know it was gonna take ALL FREAKIN' EVENING.
So, it was ok we got it up I went home took a shower and went to bed thoroughly exhausted from a 12 hr shift in a 85 degree plant, and a 4.5 hr fence rebuilding session.
Oh yeah Uma, thanks for the beer. But Gas still owes me like another couple rounds for that one. HAHAHA

that sucks dude. We've had a number of events like that over the past few years (the last one was a tree embedded in my mother's roof)

4.5 hrs... you're a funny man. We got home about 730 from home depot, and you were walking home by 1020

And rumor has it, there was a boy outside your work with a box fan that was giving you all that grief... u wuss

No, he is spending too much cash on the HHR and his HD to spend the $5K on a new vinyl fence. Can you say CHEAP, CHEAP.

Kinda but I figure it's probably clsoer to $10k.

5yrs because I need to pay off the condo I haven't owned in almost 4yrs, finish paying off my home improvement loan, bikes, credit card, etc. Just can't afford such a big spendature.

Certainly it could be done and not other things. But we all have those types of choices.

Even Cave.. he chose his HD over a new driveway concrete that he's been talking about for 2yrs now.
