Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Tomato the Brave did his usual "hide under the neighbor's car and jump on Jim when he walks by" routine. On my last lap, I gave him extra scratch and rubs, and as he followed me to the door, he kept grabbing at my leg for more attention. He got that and more wet food, and then wanted out. Harry the Hairy was inside so nobody guarded the driveway. The slacker! :)

Ok Mark, here's a silly question. I just got done with my deck and spindle railing. So with that pain fresh in my mind, I look at your beautiful property, what do I notice? That fence! Tell me about the fence, that must be quite the project painting it. Must take gallons and gallons, days and days🤔 Don't disappoint me and say its white vinyl .
Well, Larry, I am gonna disappoint you and tell you that it is white vinyl...... Ha, ha.

When we built the house, the fences and set things up, we knew that we did not have plans to ever do breeding and keep stallions. If you have stallions, they are hot blooded enough that you have to have heavier framed fences. We have primarily geldings (stallions that have been neutered) and occassionally mares. We have never had any problem with them challenging the vinyl fencing (I'd better knock on wood after saying that).

I have a friend who has a wood fence and he has told me a dozen times that he wishes he had gone with a synthetic material rather than wood as the painting process does take days and is usally hired out.

I will say that every few years, I do have to have them cleaned as mold/mildew will build up, especially on the northern side of the fence. That is quite a chore...

Sorry to burst your bubble....... :ROFLMAO:

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with unsalted peanuts and golden delicious apple lunch. I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star mmmMocha, neat, is my drink. The ferals are outside and Sleepy Suzy is by my side.

Smoked about 4 bowls of Exclusive in a MM Cob and my Pete SPD 2011 69. I only have about a half of a large pocket jar left out of the 2 oz. I started with. I decided to take same Haunted Bookshop with me on our Northeast trip along with some Briar Fox I brought from Germany. I still have 8 oz. Pegasus and 4 oz. Low Country Natural Virginia and Burley, and a pouch of 5 Brothers to take back to Germany. I see what I can pick up at Petettis. I need to a test Import so I can order from Smoking Pipes when I'm back.
