Assuming you might want both pendrives to mount at the same moutpoint,
you can do:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive auto noatime,noauto,user,owner,rw 0 0

You're off your meds again? :-)

For various services like Samba, which will autmoagically reread it's
config file every x seconds IIRC, I can see that happening; that's why I
always start/stop the service after changing the config.

But something like mount?  I find that a little hard to believe since
mount starts and stops; it's not a conituing process like Samba.
