Kinda reminds me of the 19th when I was using my loader to move the 1/2 keg out of the sun at our pig roast.........except I don't have any pictures /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Now THAT looks like a RIDE!!! I don't dare ask how this one got started, but I am sure it is a good story.

I had to have a copy of your picture! It's great and one up on the boys in my area as they only give me pics of tree's being pushed out or holes being dug. Great job!

Gee, How it got started. Well one Sunday several years ago the neighbor and I were kicking back a few brews while clearing bamboo off this hill between us.
Not sure how or why but I went down the hill on my Simplicity 7119 with a belly blade and the next thing I know is we had a groove going and next came a roll of plastic and a water hose.
We have improved over the years and learned real quick the first year that plastic on bare ground tends to really bruise up adults.
The next year we added carpet and even moved the path of the slide over and also shaped the groove so we could keep people in the path we wanted.
The past few years we have added a pond shaped out of sand at the bottom so the kids hit water. This year we ramped up the end of the pond and it was a success. Now everyone goes airborne when they hit the ramp.
We only have this in for 2-3 weeks over the 4th. and then we rip it out and start over the following year.
Cheap Fun.

You are welcome Flemdog.
I used a lot of ice because it was so hot. Several milk jugs of water were frozen and used and then an old sleeping bag was on top. Then some folks just brought ice and stored it in the bucket. Or so they thought.
Learned another reason why the flip down lock is on the loader valve.
It's so grandsons (one in particular named Tommy that should have been named Dennis) don't dump the load.
