Lol ?, I vividly remember feeling the same way when I took my kid to trampoline park a few years ago. I think the sign said you burn a few thousand calories an hour on a trampoline. I didn’t last 15 minutes but I paid for the whole hour, maybe two before my body woke my mind up with a bitch slap. It was fun, especially dunking basketballs and playing dodgeball.
 
Last time I was at one, saw a kid break her arm and another lose a tooth.
 
From Saturday. Happy Halloween.

Let the off season boat projects begin! Patterning a cover for our Zodiac rib dinghy in the garage. Tired of bailing it out. Boat vent with adjustable pole sewn in.

Laying it out for the fit and placement of the darts.

The design for the bottom of the cover. The clip attaches to the rubrail around the dinghy. We chose not to use a draw string around and under the inflatable to cinch the cover at the bottom because it would be too close to/in the water.

I have been working at the site of a 150 year old building. Some large trees had to be taken down for the new building to go up. Here is an old cottonwood tree next to the river being dismantled with a crane and the resulting stump.
Interestingly is that every good brick from the old building is being saved to put back up on the new building.

That's nice to hear about the old bricks being reused.
 
Any brick not salvageable and the three layers of concrete floor are all being run through an onsite crusher to make gravel. Old wood beams will be used to dress the inside of the new (steel) building to keep the same feel.
 
Had a great time at the ATV park. My son had too much fun in the mud hole but never got stuck, kept up all day even through some of the more difficult trails and climbed hills I thought he wouldn’t. Tonight the work begins with cleaning things up.

Took the day off work today, couldn't have asked for a better day! 73 degree's outside at Center Hill Lake! Water was a little cold at 65, but it was beautiful out there today. Possibly the last ride of the year, so sad ?.IMG_20211108_134915161.jpgIMG_20211108_121551262.jpgIMG_20211108_111504692.jpgIMG_20211108_111434362.jpg
