This has absolutly nothing to do with AGs and I mean nothing.   I went to Harbor Freight today.  While there I recieved a call from my son wanting to know if I wanted to make some extra money fast.  Well yes I do.  What do you have in mind?     Seems this home owner with more money than good brains had absentmindedly poked holes in a new $10k drain system in his backyard over the weekend.   They were quoted $500. to make the repairs and they said,'come on'.   The holes were about 1/4 inch is size.  Well, HF had epoxy glue on sale for .99 cents.  I bought 10   packs .  Went by the house and picked up a roll of window screen,  sandpaper, alcohol, a  shovel  and some rags.   From start to finish the job did not take 90 minutes.  Yes I was in the broiling sun, working by myself , but $500. is $500.   Not a bad return on the investment of 10 packs of epoxy.  And I did not have to totally uncover the darn system up to make the repairs.

BTW, still have most of the epoxy.

Gene, I wish that I could ear mark that money for a new AG.   Unfortunatly, the state of South Carolina will get the lion's share of the $500.  I got caught in a Speed Trap in Abbeville.  Seems they think  that having a 15mph zone in the middle of nowhere makes sence.   According to the officer,  55mph in a  15mph zone was my violaton.  That is a +40mph difference for all you home gamers.  40 times $10.=$400.   I guess it was the Georgia plates on a brand new truck that set him off and our dress was business attire.   My passengers, all adults could not believe it.   I was on my way to Clemson for a business deal to buy  land.   I made the appointment but had had time to think about the Abbeville experience and told them NO.  Also told them  the reason was  the speed trap .  


All you out of staters,   drive slow in carolina.......real slow.
