Just Another Saturday in VT

[scott_vt]

The day started out innocently enough, me looking out across my Uncle Daves fields out at his pond. Boy, how great it would be to have my very own flagpole /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So uncle Dave says, Im lookin to get rid of my old satellite support pole, it would make a great base for your flag pole /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So me like a dummy, I agree /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is just the start!

Scotty, when you finally get that flagpole to your place and installed with a flag flyin' proudly, only pictures like this will explain how badly you wanted it. After all, I'm sure you could have started from scratch and it would have been less work. But this once belonged to Uncle Dave and that makes it a lot more than just a flagpole. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi Jim,
Your right on all counts, I mean what did I really save, the price of a steel pole and a bunch of concrete /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ahh, but the thrill of getting that thing up on top of my property and the stars and stripes blowin in the wind, did i ever tell you about the wind? That will be all worth it!
