Ha, about as close to honest hard work as anyone can get these days. You even feel good about it when it's done, now how often does that happen anymore !
Gloves ? you mean work gloves right, not those rubber surgical ones....
Hey, you got any connections for flag poles Doc ? Between 20' and 30', aluminum or fiberglass doesn't matter really (although I like the clanging the aluminum ones make on a windy day... :-). One piece not telescopic... The pole is a must before the reunion, just haven't located anyone close by that I can pick up from (they all want about $150.00 for delivery...).....
