So much for skinny dippin' there. Why did they need to make it go away?

Huh....Looks like the pool's closed. They could do that with all of 'em for all I care for swimming.

That thing on the edge of the pool is a 3400lb wrecking ball. I just drop it from about 10 to 20 ft. or swing it with a tire and chains.

We usually do one or two a year this is the second one this month. How about that old Fiat Allis I asked you about it more than a year ago. Bought it for a little more than the price of scrap. Put a lot of running on it since then. Still a little jerky operating but have gotten use to it.

The dude that decides to buld there 35 years from now is gonna be in for a surprise.

Honestly, I looked at the pics and it didn't even register with me that it was the old F/A you were using...it's been a looooong week already. Still, glad to see the old girl still running and working. If things work out for him money wise, I'll have a customers old 80D Northwest shovel back up and running by summer. As much as I love to watch all of the old machines work, there's nothing I love more than to watch the cable machines, especially a front shovel.

Pools are a pain in the behind. Had a small one at my first house in the city, should have done this to it but wife wanted it fixed so we could use it. Lots of maintenance and expense and didn't even get to use it much with Central Ohio climate. Our buyers seemed to be attracted to it, hope they enjoyed it.

Best "Pool" is a farm or cattle pond.

Summer of 1970 I was in western Nevada, about 20 miles East of Scotty's Castle in Death Valley. It was HOT, temps had been 115+ degrees for the past several days and I was hot, tired, and dusty. Pulled in by a small pond where my neighbor Art Linkletter had about 50 head of range cattle. Pond was nearly dry, so I turned on the well pump and filled the pond, about 3 feet deep. While the cattle were coming in for the water, I peeled down and went skinny-dipping with the cattle. I'm splashing away, splashing the cattle, and having a good old time, when all of a sudden in pulls a carload of Tourists. I quickly sat down in the pond (remember I'm naked as a newborn baby), seems that they had seen the water splashes from the road and pulled in to investigate. And of course out come the camera's, everyone wants to take a picture of the guy swimming with the cattle.
