This pool is fed by 72F artesian. It was poured using grain silo panels,7 for the center diameter and 8 for the outside of the wall. It drains in 8 minutes and refills in 20 minutes. It is my bathing tub and has a 50 psi/50 GPM pump to give extreme Jacuzzi massage. The water is so rich in minerals that a leaking faucet will cut a grove in the ceramic of a ceramic coated cast iron sink. Being sought after as 'designer water' at expensive restaurants. It is delicious.   |

Only Jim could make a pool (and make it look good!) out of discarded grain silo and put a patio chair in it for relaxing. Jim, do I need to bring a chair or do you have a spare?  |

That pool is so cool, Jim! And I thought we had a lot of minerals in our water here. Mostly, it's just hard water. Very bad for the plumbing.

I have extra chairs. The bar chairs are loaded into the boat and set out at bream beds to fish while sitting(about 100 yards out in the lake).
It is the way. Catching a local bluegill looking bream they call copperheads bedding on limestone bottom. Fighters at 1/2- 3/4 pound. Bite every cast.
Yes, those are the rainbows. They are great distractions for me to get away with some of my own activities. One time my wife and I drove by some stragglers the forest service was trying to run off since their 28 days had run out. They had raised their hoods like their cars were broken. Passed them on the ATV and one of them came out yelling. Had to go back past them on the return trip. Well the forestry service was spying on them preparing for a sting attack. They told us to return home and stay away. So returning past them they unleashed 2 pit bulls on us
which did not go over to well w/me.
So later about 4 oclock when it was 100F I got in my truck and drove past them and noticed forestry had left and they were kinda crashed out in a half acre sand field about their tents. So I whipped in on the same return trip and did about 3 donuts coating their sweaty ass's with dust and sand(rebel yell!!!!).
So a little GA Red Neck snuck into me. I apologize

"A fatal alligator attack took place seven miles south of Salt Springs on May 14, 2006. A 23-year-old Florida woman was killed by an alligator while snorkeling at a lakeside recreation area,[1] although no alligators have been reported in the Salt Springs area in over 30 years." Wikipedia
Please. Salt Springs Run is a great alligator hunt. They rarely get over 10 feet due to the river current keeping them in shape. Lake gators are fat and slow.

Bill, there is no place like Florida when it comes to people. I am not sure why, but there are some of the darnedest characters and creations down there. I am sure that some of my character originates there but even I marvel at so much of the insanity. Most of my time has been spent in "old Florida" around old blood from the area. Not the most open armed group you will run into.
