    John - that goal last year - SHOULD have been called in our favor. Now they have the review.....one of the PRIMARY reasons they have the review, one of the pivotal calls - was the call against us in the game we WOULD HAVE WON against the Rangers. YOU guys got lucky that night and advanced.

     

    Right now, WE are on top. Might be and up and down thing, but I feel pretty good about our playoff odds right now.

     

    LET'S GO CAPS!

    Another thing to keep in mind is that when you have 2 different species of wood in the same construction, they will have different color representations

    based upon the sealer you choose.

    If you are choosing anything that allows you to see through the stain, there will be a difference in the color.

    A toner as you mentioned is the lightest of pigmented stains and is going to be the most noticeable.
    Some contractors who specialize in color matching on different woods can get you a closer match but there is no guarantee

    due to the age and condition of the two different sections of fence that they will match.

     

    H.O.A.'s are funny with the covenants which are often created by people with a preference and not necessarily a valid reason.
    I would submit to them the ability to apply a semi-transparent stain to the fence which will be better bang for your buck and last

    longer than a toner would and provide a protection factor the toner can't.

     

    Food for thought.

    Okay - who are your favorite teams for Football, Hockey, Basketball, and Baseball? (and any other sports you might like.

     

    I'll start. For football I love my Redskins and for hockey I love my Washington Capitals!

     

    Have not followed basketball in years, but was a Washington Bullets fan way back when that was their name. I guess they are Wizards now?

     

    I have never been a baseball person but I would pick the Orioles - Maryland team.

    Hydraulic oil is not necessarily a lubricating oil.

    It is designed with a density factor for the purpose of limiting compression differential.
    Made to displace air which compresses so easily in order to provide a safe hydraulic fluid.

    ND (non-detergent) oil is typical for pumps because of the sealed compartment they operate in.

    I would stick with oil designated for use in pumps and change them based upon the operations manuals specifications.
