So…we have a pool.
It has been named, The Prebish Pool. We are very creative around these parts.
The Prebish Pool has its own check-in on facebook. It is the frequent gathering place for our newly dubbed group, The Super 8 (not the movie…just…well, it is what it is…just go with it…).
The combination of The Prebish Pool and our “Frozen Concoction Maker” (its for snow cones…) can be worth the price of admission in itself. The admission price? Um…well…its $0. We operate on a BYOB2 (Bring Your Own Beer and Beef) because we are a classy operation. Sometimes, certain things happen that are, well, they fall into that category of “What happens at the Prebish Pool, stays at the Prebish Pool”. So of course we took video of a recent event and figured we would just post it for the whole world to see.
WARNING: If you are a parental unit of anyone associated with this Blog, or a parental unit of anyone who frequents the Prebish Pool, you may want to just go on to the next blog post…You have been warned…so no lectures later…deal? DEAL!
Before we get to “The Event”, we must show you what happens when you are 4 years old and feel indestructible. There are two videos, but this literally happened probably like 40 times, no exaggeration. Danny and Brandi are very proud…without further ado, may I present The Amazing Flying Colton!
Notice the faceplant…that probably happened at least 10 times. He just kept coming back for more. Courtney said I should stop throwing him so high…so I did. I tossed him about half the height of these videos…he came back and said…”No, throw me higher!” So I obliged…
And now back to “The Event”.
Every time we get in the pool, Courtney inevitably has to mention that we need to cut down those dead palm tree branches from the freeze back in January. I look at her and say, yes we do, but we need a 16 foot extension ladder. She says, don’t you have one? I say, yes, but it is up in The Woodlands. It’s basically a part of the Pool routine.
Our friend Paul basically got tired of hearing this conversation one day, and decided that we were going to solve this problem with “tools of opportunity”. Danny Willis is familiar with this tool. It basically is anything you can find to get the job done despite whether or not it was designed for the task at hand or not.
So Paul busted out my small 6 ft A-frame ladder, and placed it next to the tree. It was very evident that this was not going to work…So he slapped that bad boy on the top 2x4 of the fence and perched it up against the palm tree…uh oh.
At first, I was being wise, and said Paul, that is funny, but this is just dumb. Look at this fence?! It is going to disintegrate with a strong breeze! As you see in the video, the “wise” quickly disappeared as I sided with Paul on the possibility of this actually happening. I am pretty sure Paul and I were the only one who were ok with this Plan.
Yes. That is a Reciprocating Saw, better known as a Sawsall (Saws All). It is not designed for tree trimming activities, but…is our “tool of opportunity”. Notice the comment made by Spencer White in the back ground of the previous video. “I wash my hands of all of this!” (yes Mrs. White, your son is wise beyond his years…) and HE is the one living in the Frat House!
And so…the trimming began...what am I doing you ask? I am countering the force the ladder and Paul are putting on the fence so it doesn’t fall over. You’ll notice a little ways into this operation, we discovered another tool that might of helped…but that would be NO FUN!
…and that is how Paul Anderson earned his MexiCAN badge…
He always says he is half Mexican, but didn’t get that part…as you can see…I beg to differ!
Some were so happy at the successful implementation of genius that they had to dance! “Oh Yeah!”
…and just in case you were concerned about those involved in this operation, may I present…
No animals were harmed in the making of this Blog Post.
Until the next Prebish Pool Adventure…
