Today we installed the electric fence. Amanda and I worked on driving the 3 6’ ground rods into the ground and I put in a post for the feeder and surrounded it in electric fence. Like any good project, we ended up running to Agway, and Home Depot, AKA The Po, AKA The place that only ever has 85% of anything you need to finish a project, to complete our task. While at The Po’ I witnessed one more reason why I am afraid that frequent visits to the greater Wal*Mart area in Somersworth, may make one less intelligent.
You see the Po has just installed brand-spanking new self-checkouts. For some reason, on outstanding individual felt it was a good idea to go through said checkouts with 2 outdoor trash cans, and a package of fiberglass insulation, to name a few of the poorly sized items for purchase. This individual took a very long time trying to mash, shove, and otherwise persuade these items to be scanned by the register. As his attempts continued to fail, his anger prevailed releasing these words: “I hate these god damn things.” Lets stop right here and review. . . Trash cans and Insulation. A self-scan register made for small purchases. 2 perfectly good, normal registers open, under the usual load, and he hates the registers. Well done Somersworth, well done. Yet another visit that surprised me, when I thought there was nothing left to surprise me with. 
But back on track. The fence is set, the cameras and lights are on. Now we just have to rely on the repeat offenders. Meanwhile, here are some pictures of the set up to tide us all over till the shocking moment of truth. Let me tell, you, they’re in for a BIG surprise, I can speak to that, but more on that later. . .

I wonder if comments can handle this…
Nope, it strips out the HTML. This just had to be posted

Nice Dave. I would also suggest against knealing and touching the fence. . .
I think you need a blog category for Moxie!
Consider it done!
Moxie *shudder*
Are you in the running to be the next Gary Crocker?
The who?
And that’s why, if I have to go to the Depot, I go as close to closing time as reasonably possible. I avoid it entirely between noon on Friday and late afternoon on Sunday, excepting for cases of emergency most dire.
Gary Crocker, don’t tell me the guy “from away” knew about him and you didn’t:

What? My bro will put down 3-4 in a visit as will one of my old client/friend. . . Besides, put a little ice in a glass, pour in 4 oz of Jägermeister and top it off with Moxie. There ya go.
It’s like drinking coffee so you can stay up and smoke more!
You’re correct, adding Jäger to Moxie sounds like a good idea to make Moxie taste better :-)
Well done on the fence project. How many times were you shocked?
Thanks. I’m only up to two or 3 accidental shocks now. Two of those resulted from the fence’s re purpouse for the veggi garden.
