Let none doubt the devotion Kieran has to The Church. As one of its founders he saw the Church through the veggie wars before the summer and undertook several dangerous missions to save Liberate and Ovlov when Angie had them under her veggie spell. and Laney bombArded us with Broccoli.

It's a common issue thong, how do you repair it I guess cut all the old wire out and install new stuff in a stronger waterproof cover , depends on the part of the country you live in I guess as to condition salt eats through anything
