[SADXA] Last nights East side Storm

I just discovered some more minor damage I hadn't noticed at first. I  
have a run of about 80 feet of open wire feeder, with plastic wire 
spacers.  More than half of the plastic spacers are now broken.  I 
believe it was the hail stones we had during the storm, which also broke 
the glass of some outdoor floodlights. The feeder has been up for about 
7 years,  and evidently the plastic has become very brittle by now, from 
the UV in the Arizona sunshine.  The feeder needs to be replaced.

            Cheers,
