I saw that picture and thought, "Why does that car have a big, wooden sign attached to the roof?" :).

Old picture?  You don't have a 6 wagon?

Correct. Sold it when we bought the GTI.

Looks like a good day to hang out around the pool and go for a swim  :) +25 and feels like 30.

Only if the pool is heated.  Dad drained his 2 weeks ago, because even on the days where it was 20C outside, the pool temperature read 72F, compared to 84F, a few weeks ago.

My Dad couldn't afford the bill, if he heated his pool.  Don't know the exact measurements, but it is quite big.  I can't swim it both ways underwater.

If I was a 1% then I could afford to to keeping it running , but I am not , and the grandkids are to busy with other stuff to go swimming in it
Was only in the pool about 4 times this year , so it is best to waste my money on other things

Rain clearing out for the group hike. For those that showed up it was a great time.

I'm surprised your neighbours didn't call the cops.  ;)

Nice.  My local bylaws do not permit backyard shooting.

Saving over $600 per year on home and auto insurance with a new provider, and telling the old provider to shove it.  It really irks me when they only leap into action when you tell them you're cancelling.   :shake:
