Can I fix this, and if so, what is the best way?

The city ran over my mailbox back in the spring while putting in a sidewalk, & replaced it. Was great for a hot minute, until it fell over (lol) & I ended up having to pay somebody to come reset it. This morning I noticed the post has a crack down one side. I'm guessing maybe the wood wasn't seasoned enough, and/or possibly the unusually wet spring we've had here, may have caused it. I was wondering if I can get some kind of wood filler or outdoor caulk that I could just squirt in there to fill the crack? other suggestions welcome, preferably ones a single lady of a certain age could implement fairly easily. lol https://imgur.com/a/jq7oPrV (apologies for having to link pix this way, I simply cannot figure out how other folks get their photos to post directly to reddit. sigh) submitted by /u/dixiehellcat [link] [comments]
