Yeah.
If she'd have been thinking, she might have just filled it up with water.
Then the kids could have done their swimmin and been tired by the time they got home.
And the car would be washed. What a time saver that would be.

But no diving board. That wouldn't be safe

Now you're just being silly.  You put 2-300# of water in a flexible pool, how are you going to lift up and put in on top of a car?

Put the pool on top, then add the water...

Are straps or rope really such a complicated topic that she wouldn't consider using them?

Because the water, when she first accelerates....

I'd need a fronthoe and a backhoe, because my property is so small there's no way to get one from the front yard to the back.

[roamer_1]

We got rid of the 580 Case... It's a loader and a hoe, and nothing else. Got rid of a JD 410 Extendahoe a while before that.. for the same reason... Funny that we did that twice, but that's how diggity having a hoe can be...

I can't remember which one it is right now, but we've a little mid-range JD 4wd and I am looking for the hoe attachment for that for more versatility.

I'd kinda like a bigger Massey or Ford from back in the day... Would be nice for the ability for a bigger brush hog, tine aerator, and a real box scraper... I know the old Fords could take a hoe attachment, and maybe the Masseys too... But if I could trip over something like that, that would be even better... Other than anything that old ain't gonna be joysticks on the hoe, and I ain't run that old school stuff for a long, long time...

I'd have to move. 

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

I'd have to move. 

Part of me would like to be able to shoot a rifle off my porch without any chance of hitting anyone who wasn't trespassing.  Another part wanted to be able to drop my boat in salt water w/o having to trailer it to a ramp.  I picked one, then got too old and ornery to ever want to move again.

I suppose I could go back and work another 30 years so I could afford both, but then I'd be too old to enjoy them [I'll get back to you in 30 years and we can review the "too old" part].

If my neighbor is in his front yard, and I am in mine, and I can pick up a rock, chuck it at his head, and actually hit him, that's way too close.

I am barely in that condition now... And if I were younger and my arm worked like it used to, I would be all the way in that condition... It's too dang close.

If I ever get my legs all the way back, I am heading for the sticks. There is something very important about waking up in the morning, walking out the door, and peeing off the porch.

I have found that waiving at my neighbor while doing that can be distracting.

@roamer_1

Take a look at the TYM line of tractors. Most parts made in Korea,but mine has a Japanese diesel engine,and they are assembled in central NC. I THINK they also have an assembly plant somewhere in the west. They are also sometimes called "Case" these days. Or at least the smaller and mid-sized ones. Don't believe me,take a look at the TYM's and then go take a look at the new Case tractors.

I love my old 58 HP 345D Ford,but it is configured as only a front end loader right now,and it's only 2wd and a lot of the work I do with it is in soft ground. SOB is HEAVY and hard to get out when it's stuck and both (slick) back tires are spinning free. I bought it from a small city that only used it with a side mounted mower to mow the ditches along the roads,so it doesn't have that many hours,but tractor tires don't last long on asphalt or concrete roads.

 I needed a 4x4,so I bit the bullet and bought the new TYM with 4x4,bucket,box blade,cab,and air-conditioning and heat as well as a AM-FM radio. One of the smaller ones that weighs about 3,000 lbs,which is less than half of what the 345D weighs.

I have to admit I like the column mounted shuttle shift on the 345D more than I do the two pedals in the floor for forward and backwards. Already ran into the side of my new truck when I hit the "brake" pedal without thinking,and instead of stopping it went forward . The 12 speed shuttle shift is a dream to work with

@sneakypete
I looked at Yanmar pretty hard. I am governed by parts and dealership, and around here that's gonna be JD or Kubota for the most part. I can do Case parts through a local shop here, but it ain't a real dealer. Yanmar is down in Missoula though, which is 120 miles off... Which ain't that bad for a midrange tractor... I can toss it on a trailer and have it there in a couple hours.

But local is better, and it can't be Kubota, because I dotted the owners eye a while back and ever since then we really don't get along. So... I wound up sticking with John Deere.

I love my old 58 HP 345D Ford,

That's just about exactly what I am looking for. If it has the hooks on the back for the backhoe, that, or something just about like it would be the ticket.

That midrange of ours is somewhere around that HP, and 4wd, But I will tell you right now, it don't stand in the shade of that ol Ford. Too light. Won't side hill (this is MT after all). Can't put the tine aerator on it at all, unless I only fill it part way up. And the cheesy little box scraper i got ain't half of a real one, and that JD has trouble with it.

My room was next to the LBJ suite.  Nice place, for a old hotel.  I had some friends who stayed in the newer section.  Sixth Street was loaded with good bars.  I was there back in the 80's, and there were hookers aplenty.

It's hard to tell.  The only functional difference is you had to pay one kind.  And they were mostly trannies, even back then.

6th street in Austin is very much like Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  (If you happen to drop your wallet on 6th street kick it for about 10 blocks before you pick it up.)

[240B]

Surprised they used the term 'drunk driver'.
You can get anything you want in Austin.
I doubt these guys were 'drunk' on alcohol in Austin.
Drinking...is kind of a low priority item.

Pittsburgh Tribune Review

A Virginia man whose two dreadlocks containing body tissue were found at a 2015 murder scene in Pittsburgh was arrested this week after DNA tests matched him with the hair samples, Pittsburgh police said.

The suspect, Aaron Cross, who is incarcerated in Riverside Regional Jail in North Prince George County, Va., is accused of murdering Shakiem Williams of New York City, during a robbery in Crafton Heights, on July 30, 2015.  ...

Police departments ask would-be criminals to hold off on committing crimes until after heat wave

Saturday, July 20, 2019 5:17PM

BRAINTREE, Mass. -- It's so hot in some parts of the country that police departments are asking would-be criminals to hold off on committing crimes until the heat wave passes.

"It is straight-up hot as soccer balls out there," police in Braintree, Massachusetts, wrote Friday in a light-hearted Facebook post. "Conducting criminal activity in this extreme heat is next-level henchmen status and also very dangerous."

Braintree is a community of more than 35,000 people situated approximately 20 minutes south of Boston. The National Weather Service placed the city under an excessive heat warning Saturday, with high temperatures in the 90s expected throughout the weekend...

Grocery worker found in shop where he worked after 10-year search

Police say the body of a man who went missing in 2009 has been discovered behind a freezer in the now-closed supermarket where he worked.

Investigators in Council Bluffs, Iowa, say Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada, 25, had apparently fallen into an 18-inch (45cm) gap at No Frills supermarket.

Noise from the coolers probably muffled his cries for help, according to investigator Sgt Brandon Danielson.

No foul play was detected and his death was ruled to be accidental.

Ex-Israeli military soldier tells flasher 'I’m going to get you darling', condemns passersby for not helping
By Paulina Dedaj | Fox News

A Massachusetts woman, once a member of the Israeli military, has told the man that flashed her last week “I’m going to get you, darling”, as she hit out at the several witnesses who refused to help her accost him.

Aia Polansky, a 33-year-old mother of two, was jogging down Memorial Drive near Vassar Street in Cambridge on July 18 at around 7:30 a.m. when a man jogging past her exposed himself twice.

“He pulled his pants once and I didn’t react too much I thought it’s awkward,” she told Boston’s WBZ-TV Wednesday. “As he came closer he pulled them again then I understood maybe it’s not what I think it is and then he reached his hand out.”

https://www.foxnews.com/us/israeli-military-soldier-mother-flasher-darling-condemns-passersby

Aia Polansky, the victim here is 6'1", she was able to pin this guy down but nobody came to her help to call the police, so he was able to get away per the story.

Unfortunately, I think women, some women,  must have to run into things like this from time to time.
