We've started removing an ugly concrete fence from around the "pool."  Our friend and neighbor Dennis even showed up to help out, which proves he is nuts because this was not fun work.  Thanks, Dennis.

We're not done, but it's coming along.

Hey Erik,
I saw a few posts back that you were thinking of doing away with the pool. If that's the case just throw all that old fence in the pool and cover it with fill dirt?
Looks like a lot of work at least you picked the coolest day of the year to start :-) Good luck.

Thats what *I* want to do. But there are certain other family members, female family members, who have decided otherwise.

I just do what I'm told; life's easier that way ;)

Well it is a good upper body workout for you guys; so then you can get ready for rowing again! I bet you could get a lot of rowing in that big pool of yours:) When is it going to be done, eh?

Is your pool clean enough now that I can come over and skate it?
I (seriously) bought a new skateboard this past weekend.

@K - I have no idea when it will be done. Depends on how much you and Steve work on it this summer, I suppose! It's about 499 meters short for rowing, though ;)

@Dan - Yes, it's clean enough. I would love to see you try to skate the pool. The transitions are very steep, but you will get a good run at the deep end!

Free beer to anyone who tries! I don't care if you succeed, it's the just effort that will amuse me. Riding into a big wall at high speed is high quality entertainment.
