Back from Target, waiting on folks to get ready (pool opens at noon and it takes us exactly 1.35 minutes to get there).

Gonna come back and mow, clean up the grill and maybe more. May plant some flowers on Monday if I get motivated.

Or I could just buy a couple of pots already planted...

It’s still really grey and rainy here. I’ve been ironing and OB has been moving his winter/summer clothes around. We’re both still in long sleeves and long pants; the thought of a swimming pool is most unappealing right now! LSA

1.35 minutes is almost like having one in your backyard.

Our newly renovated water park, aka swimming pool et al, will be opening soon. The big attraction this year will be a humonguous water slide. It kinda resembles yellow storm sewer pipe, twisting and turning from about three stories up, ending up in some kind of artifical stream.

Since it’s fully enclosed, recall the reference to sewer pipe, the young ‘uns and adults theoretically won’t be able to climb over the edge or flip themselves out. Once inside, it’s downhill, in the dark, to the light at the end of the tunnel. There is actually two of them, one for small kids and one for bigger kids/adults.

Our esteemed parksguy said he had to make this extra special to attract enough people/patrons to pay for it. hmmm. uh, huh?
