Ha...well either way, kids look like they are enjoying it.

Mom must be concerned about all the dirt they'll haul into the house?

I saw a commercial for an above-ground pool. It was 30 seconds long. You know why? Because that's the maximum amount of time you can depict yourself having fun in an above-ground pool. If it was 31 seconds, the actor would say, "What the **** am I supposed to do now? The water's only up to here. What should I do? Throw the ball back to Jimmy? Or put some goggles on and look at his feet? I can't even drown my kneecaps!"

This ones actually pretty deep, 48"...the kids enjoy it, and its nice to cool off on the hot days for the adults too. It's not fooling my wife though, she's got an inground pool scribbled in the budget for 2007

She wants a pool, I want a 27 ft. pocket cabin cruiser.

There is indoor/outdoor carpeting on the other side of that pool going across the gravel (Red arrow), it cleans their feet off pretty good.

That's not my fence by the way...I wanted a "Green Belt" fence, but the people who bought that house originally put up a cedar fence. Part of it has already blown down in a wind storm and rebuilt. Looks like crap. I'm still planning to put up pickle trees down that length to hide the fence.

That is one battle YOU have to win Ripsnort.

When she eventually throws your arse out the door its better to live on that 27 than in a pool

PS.. what kind of boat are you looking for Mr soon-to-be-hobo
