Clem, I agree with your priorities, you got the beer in the right spots. Now let's hope Joaquim moves out to sea.

bambooboy, you beat me to it.

A few months ago I went to the local big box building supply store and asked the young associate where I could find their visqueen. Major league deer in the headlights stare resulted. A gray hair (like me) was nearby and directed me to the plastic sheeting.

By the way, spell check on this site couldn't come up with the proper spelling.

My Dad was a custom home builder for over 45 years and he always spelled it "visquine" on his estimate sheets.

My Dad was the only guy I knew to use that term, this was the first time I've seen it in print. See you all on the field on Tuesday. Bob
