Johnny, your golf course wants you to wear these while your loafing
around your local course during snow storms. They said something about
making yourself useful.

Nope, the gates are closed. Still about six inches in many places,
especially those
with shade. Plus, the ground is so wet we'd have to wear snowshoes to
keep from
sinking.

Cute idea though. Thanks.

Must play havoc with the golf game.

Got down to 60 here and I had to bundle up

Where did you get the small slide, Nanook?


Found it on the side of the road ;-)
That is the "slide of death". I actually got a cancellation notice
from my insurance company because I had a pool slide. I sent them a
picture with a yard stick setting next to it.
They then changed up and said they really meant I didn't have a fence
around my pool. and I asked them if the woman who spotted the S.O.D
noticed the screen cage?
They did and they had tacked on an additional $150 to my insurance
bill for it.
I never heard any more about it. The kids quickly outgrew the slide
and it became a ball return for the basketball hoop we had there.
Now it is just a place holder for the waterfall that was originally
planned for that spot.
That piece of PVC pipe sitting there was the prototype to test the
plumbing to be sure I had enough head pressure from the pool pump.



Speaking of pools, I finally made it over to the fairly new Hall
(Calvert County) indoor aquatics center, which has a bunch of swim
lanes, a huge jacuzzi and a therapy pool, which I also tried and has
water at a balmy 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and an exercise equipment room,
too. Nice play to spend an afternoon in the middle of the winter here.

That's fine if you like swimming in other people's pee.
