Concrete wire is very thick and difficult to work with. 14 G. fencing 5' tall (2X4" spacing) is available at Home Depot for about $40 a 50' roll and should last about 10 years before the welds start to give. Higher quality galvanization used to be standard when the fencing came from Georgia instead of China and you could get about 20 years. This higher quality fencing may still be available from fence supply stores. Being able to mow under a tree is not an issue for me. I want easy access to my trees for my hands. I have dealt with concrete wire and plastic netting at various sites and I much prefer my method because entry is so much easier. But then, the 5' or so diameter rings inside the fence are usually mulched and a mower is not used. Weeds are pulled by hand. If and when I stop mulching, the tree is already above the browse line and the fence is removed and replaced with a narrow buck guard to protect the trunk from rubs. Sorry, no time for photos this week. I have to get my wife's help to accomplish that. I'm a techidiot. Drive one stake into the ground a couple feet from the tree, weave the end of fencing with flush cuts through the stake (if it's smooth wood) wrap the fencing around the tree and close the tube you've made with 2 or 3 pieces of the fences own wire. Total time- about 10 minutes including measuring and cutting the fence piece.

I use Firefox, and am having the problem. I also tried it in IE, and had the same problem. When I click the back button the first time, the status bar lights up, the blue bar fills across, but I don't go back. The second click doesn't light up the status bar, but takes me back. I've seen this happen before, on other websites, and it had to do with AdBlock+, an add-on for Firefox.

Here is a link about OpenOffice. I don't have good enough excel experience to be an advocate for the OO program. I love the concept of this project; professionals and users creating software for free (you can contribute toward costs), improving it as needed, and distributing for free to everyone - just for the public good, no profits involved. I hadn't heard of it until this last fall, but it's been around for over a decade. It is an org. and not a .com! http://about.openoffice.org/index.html Here is a list of features on their most recent release. Natal, I don't think I have "Pages". I haven't ever seen it and just searched finder for it and nothing shows up. Where would it be? Here is a link that might be useful: openoffice

I have a PC vs. a Mac but I know how frustrating that is when old stuff isn't compatible with new. I had to dump a scanner that I couldn't update to work with an MS update. My desktop computer is pretty old and I had to update to Windows10 this year. I thought it would be fatal and bought a laptop (that I wanted anyway) and transferred everything to it. After a few glitches I did manage to get the update to run and surprisingly things are working pretty well. I did switch to Office365, in part because I wanted OneDrive (similar to iCloud), so I'm current with that. Much as I hate the subscription fees, SaaS is the way of the world and I think it's inevitable companies aren't going to update the older non-SaaS versions of their products. The next one to hit me will be Quicken - desktop version no longer supported for transaction downloads at the end of this year. Ugghh...
