A good day for buying fence rails

I left for Vincennes this afternoon intending to spend $6.97 apiece for 30 "deck planks" to use as fence rails. When I got there I found them on sale for $3.92 apiece. A rather nontrivial savings with my budget as tight as it is. I think I have myself talked out of it but I'm tempted to try to scrape up the money to buy enough rails while they're on sale to finish the rest of the north fence; around $336 now as opposed to about $558 later.

Anyhoo, we got some progress made on the east fence: 

The next time I have a crew here (tomorrow I hope) we need to take enough wire loose to allow us to straighten that corner post, put more rails on, then reattach the wire. The post really was straight up and down at one point but it leaned when we stretched the wire attached to it tight last month and it bugs me every time I look at it.
