Ugh, girls soccer game at noon. Maybe the twins will get red carded and I can get back into the air conditioning.

You're at Origins. Asshole.

Fuck that shit.

And afterwards when we got home, I made root beer floats for the kids.

Derspiess drinks beer while he makes his kids watch Roots.  Some sort of weirdo White Power thing.

Another day, another Babylon 5 actor dead.  This time it's Vir Cotto.

Star Trek, Animal House and a Matador? 

That's a pretty full life.

Does anyone have an Endless Pool (e: specifically the all in one versions that include a hot tub section)?  If so, thoughts? 

My mom was wanting to go look at hot tubs for her back patio area, so we took her to lunch then when to a nearby place.  They had a gigantic...I dunno...20ish foot long absurdly expensive Endless Pool with a 15 foot area to swim (with the current generator doohickey) and then a separate hot tub part.  My wife got this crazed "I WANT IT" hungry type look on her face and has a pile of brochures and shit now. They have other models that aren't 50fuckingk ("holy shit"), so that's good I guess.   I could probably get a lazy river installed around my house for that and it could do double duty as a moat.  What the hell, man

Anyway, do these things suck or what?  The dealer chick wants me to come back and swim in it, which is........weird.  I...don't want to do that...

More shit to buy.

More stuff to maintain and repair.

Do a mono, keep the money in the bank and dream of it at night.

I don't go for these new fangled parenting ways.

LOL
Jacuzzis are so Boogie Nights, man.  We had one in the house we moved into, it was an absolute pain in the ass to maintain.  It's not a lawn mower.
And anything like that that generates heat is even more of a bitch to maintain and keep clean.  You think a pool can grow cooties, give the cooties a jungle climate to grow.

Ask your wife if the brochures welcome you to the exciting world of folliculitis and UTIs.

Actually, MBM, if your Mom is looking at hot tubs, check out some of the portable ones: sturdy enough for 3 seasons, and it really helped my Mom with her therapy.  Easier to deal with, too.

  I didn't know this was a thing.  Interesting. 

E:  Although after looking at those, they might not work for her.  She has one of those jacuzzi tubs with jets in her house now that she uses all the time, but it's getting dangerous for her to get in and out of it with the high walls (getting in, she coudl use some steps, but she'd still have to climb out).  She was going to just replace it with a walk in shower with a seat, but wanted something else to help with her back pain.  She could get a little corner hot tub thing with the reclined seat type deal in it sunken down into her back deck so she would just have to step into it.

I'll probably just end up taking care of it for her too.  Fun with chemicals.  Sigh.

So I think I'm going to travel to Poland this summer (and then tack on Berlin). Was just looking up and damn, that is a cheap place for a vacation. Looking at prices, the days in Berlin would be about 3 times the price as the days in Poland!

Poland is awesome. Tons of interesting stuff to see and as you say dirt cheap (outside Warsaw and Krakow)

And plumbing.  And motors.  and filtration systems.

So the kids "bought" me lottery scratch off tickets for Father's Day. A real gift from the heart.

Then I scratch them off. BEST KIDS EVER
