That is excellent. My daughter loves the water. if we open the pool early, we jump in as a challenge and get out. she goes on swimming till we suggest she get out. He is a lucky guy. my daughter has Aspergers.

That is a most excellent pool setup.

Finally got warm enough to try out the pool. My son and DIL brought my grandson up today and we gave it a work out. My little buddy loved it. I bet he sleeps good tonight. I know I will.

I am sure that there was also a Birthday Party for an Old Fart today.

MM ,today was a great day for a birthday even though the old fart had a little trouble getting out of the pool.

When our kid's were young I found an old pickup bed at the dump. I dug a hole in the back yard and put it in, the job I was on threw out a 1/4 roll of 6 mil plastic so I triple folded it set it in and filled the bed up, was surprised that it didn't leak. One boy 2 1/2 and the other 5 just loved it.

We were at the time working a job for a company that built oil derricks we were doing the dirt work it was hot and I had brought the international 5 ton over with the 1500 gallon water tank trailer. I was using the 112 cat grader and had Rita driving around watering the dust down. An extra job for her was taking the slips from the truckers bringing in screenings for topping the welding pads. One day a trucker showed up and couldn't find her to drop off the slip. I yelled and out she pops from the back hole of the water tanker. It was hot that day.

Ed, that reminds me of a time when me and my brother were working on a dozer on a surface coal mine site. We both worked for the same company and being I had just hired on they put me in the truck with him as his helper. On a surface mine site there was always several ponds to collect runoff from the mine before it went into any streams. We got the machine fixed and being it was pretty hot and late in the day when everyone had went home we decided to go swimming in one of the ponds before leaving. I guess the night watchman was driving around and saw us because the next day the boss told us that the next time we wanted to go swimming to make sure we were off mine property.

Had a guy give me one of those curved-enclosed slides a while back. I went and got it and took it apart and made a slide which will reach from the playhouse to the stock tank pool with a couple curved sections. Being I built the playhouse over 30 years ago for my son I figured I'd better check my structure out a little bit before adding the slide. I had used the bottom part for a sandbox and after digging around the posts found that they were pretty rotted at ground level and that I had put concrete around them. Not much fun to fix but I got two replaced today. Spliced,glued and bolted. No concrete this time. Two more to go and my little buddy will get his slide.
