Fence news

Geez, it really rained hard.

Our neighbors' back yard became a lake and our yard, being just slightly uphill, became a swamp.  No water came through the window and power stayed on so the sump didn't back up.  But it rained so hard that water came pouring down the vent for the furnace or the water heater or something.  Some stupid outlet to the outside started dripping after about the first inch of the more than three inches of rain.  It's always something.  It dripped hard enough to require middle of the night checking to make sure the bucket catching the drips wasn't overflowing.

It's always something.

So today it was finally not raining.  That part is OK but it was densely overcast and windy and cold, about 50.  It was dry.  With this spring threatening to turn into last spring which was the worst spring in the history of spring I was determined to get in at least a few miles.

Mission accomplished.
Gloomy, gloomy day gradually turning pretty chilly.  Even the cows look densely overcasted.

But what I found interesting was this.  This whole rent a fence thing is apparently going way better than even I had imagined.  I was surprised to find that there was an economic opportunity for renting temporary fences but today I was surprised to find that there is more than one entity involved in providing temporary fencing.
That's the new construction over at the Fair.  It looks so far like a bunch of different passenger loading and unloading areas.  Stay tuned.

Overcast cows. That's a new one.

Who knew rent-a-fence was a business with a future? Entrepreneurial spirit lives on.
