We had kids use it even when the girls weren't here. That's the best part of owning a pool. You know where your kids are and who they are hanging with.

XCR1250 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 My youngest daughter bought a large home that the former owner of Tombstone Pizza owned, large indoor pool, I have to say it's pretty kewl to be able to swim in your own home every day.

I have a cottage on a lake now and it's nice to just let mother nature take care of the maintenance. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss mine. I actually found cleaning it and general upkeep therapeutic. cleaning leaves out in October November sucked though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do kinda miss him though. A liberal with some actual brain matter. Rare. He used to be a lot of fun and actually rodes sleds and bikes. A bit OCD but it was towards modifying sleds and bikes. Now its about Trump. Such a waste of energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird thing is, while it’s by design from DC, it’s a volunteer program. Find a sports team to cheer for and be sad about, ffs. 7 minutes ago, DriftBusta said: .

Only replaced the liner $3k, and the pump motor $175. There is a company that pumps some kind of expanding foam to raise the concrete up supposedly works well and isn't terribly expensive.

I mean, look how spastic he is!!! He's transient from Indiana to Minnesota. His house is never done, and usually has Tyvek flapping in the breeze somewhere. He bought a USED BMW and he's put tons of repairs into the front-end and suspension. He's always selling some used piece of shit. He was gonna' buy a Case backhoe, that obviously was a shit ad, and shit hoe. He sells some kind of meats that are probably rancid. I mean think about it, how could anyone do a quality job on anything, the way he spreads himself so thin? Also, I think he's a booz-a-holic, who is a troll. He's not stupid, he's an asshole. There is a difference. Lmfao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the people I used to ride with locally even have sleds anymore. I'm in the same boat. Many friends no longer have sleds and the one buddy I do have that still does, is a fireman (captain) and works crazy hours and shifts so it is tough hooking up to ride. Now that I am retired, however, I am hoping we are able to get out a bit more but with 3 kids, hockey, etc, it won't be too often I'm guessing? My Diverticulitis also keeps me from venturing far or doing saddle bag trips. I do have a few other friends who do that quite often and some of their trips look awesome but I highly doubt I could due to this issue that rears its ugly head whenever it wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
