I just need to buy a house so I can put one up...a decent job might help with that.

I think I may need to upgrade my post mounted flag to a taller flag pole. Nice work guys!!!

Flagpole Update: Went hunting this weekend, and the wife was gone for a while Sunday morning, when she received a phone call from local PD. Someone missed the corner and wiped out two fences and my flagpole. I'll try to get photos of the vehicle, but the flagpole won the contest I believe. See below for the rest of the story!







Hopefully I'll be getting a nice shinny new aluminum one in exchange for this heavy pipe one I built.

So, my neighbor heard/saw this all go down and the two people involved were trying to free their vehicle from the carnage to leave the scene. He raced over, and they didn't speak english. He was calling the police, and one of them said in Spanish - "Hit Him", apparently so he wouldn't call the police and they could leave. Well, my neighbor apparently knows enough spanish, or more than I thought, and knew what they said. He showed him his XD40 under his shirt (CCW) and they decided to stick around and not make things any worse. (he also has many many years of taekwondo and kung fu experience, so I doubt it would have been fun either way)

I'm buying my neighbor something nice!

And the one weekend my wife happens to bring home the company truck for use on monday morning, parks it right where I always have my truck. Parts and pieces of fence, flagpole, car parts everywhere, not a scratch that we can find on the company truck. Whew!
