Old deck after cleaner needs some TLC

I cleaned this 20 year old deck (new to us) with Thompson's WaterSeal Wood Deck Cleaner & Brightener and a pressure washer.

There is still lots of residual stain. It looks like it has been sealed more than once but I don't know with which products.

Though we would like a nice wood finish, I don't really want to go through the stripping and sanding process, so maybe a solid colour would be easier. The goal is to get another season or two before building a new, larger deck.

What product could I apply now to get a nice uniform look or do I need to keep trying to remove the old finish?

Radios repaired in the US incur large HST charge coming back to Canada.

I sent a couple of $150 radios that I owned from Canada to the US for repair.

They arrived back in Canada with an invoice stating the package has a value of $2,700 and that I owe $546 for HST and other fees.

Both the sender and I tried numerous times to have this corrected. In the meantime I refused delivery. Now the package has been declared abandoned.

I've received a second overdue notice, so UPS still expects me to pay up.

What should I do?
