โThe Next Step Is The Diving Board!โ๐ค My Actifit Report Card: March 31 2026
โThe Next Step Is Installing The Diving Board!โ๐ค
Silvertop ran into Keith and Lynne working in their garden on todayโs hikeโฆโฆโฆโฆ.๐
โKeith, did you put up the split rail fence along the deep end of the pond to stop the FedEx driver from accidentally dumping packages in your pond Lol?โ๐
โSilvertop, this is just the beginning! The next step is building a deck, with a diving board, just beyond this fence! We have lots of families with young kids moving into our neighborhood, and this will give the kids a place to swim!โ๐ค
Hmmmโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ
Now I know we have some avid swimmers on our blockchain, our friend @silversaver888 is one!๐
Silvertop as a kid, had almost daily access to an Olympic size pool, so I definitely love swimming, butโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ.๐ฎ
The few times I swam in a lake, I distinctly remember feeling something swim by my legs under water!๐ณ
It definitely a very disconcerting feeling Lol!๐คฃ
I can also count the times I opened my eyes under water, and they were all in crystal clear chlorinated pool water Lol!โบ๏ธ
Nopeโฆโฆ. thatโs not going to happen in a murky pond!โบ๏ธ
โYou going swimming in Keithโs pond Liz?โ๐
Unfortunately, the Mrs never learned to swimโฆโฆโฆโฆ.
โSilvertop I would dangle my feet in the water off the side of the deck!โ๐ฅฐ
Hmmmโฆโฆ well thatโs a start Lol!โบ๏ธ
โI will dangle my feet off the deck next to you Liz!โ๐
Itโs all yours @silversaver888, Liz and I will just sit here drinking our lattes on the deck Lol!๐คฃ
โAre you ready for todayโs hike honey, blue skies today, but the rain is back tomorrow โฆโฆ. It is Spring in the Pacific Northwest Lol!โ๐
Till then this is Silvertop Mike ๐

I like fish and I like to listen to frogs, but quite frankly, don't like much the thought of swimming with them, or in my case not swimming with them as I try desperately not to drown! Nope, I prefer the clear water of a pool as well, lol! ๐ค๐นโค๏ธ๐๐
I definitely agree Liz give me a clean swimming pool!!!๐
!LOL, I don't want to swim murky waters either, @silvertop! Not even to dangle my feet in them, hehehe!

I think we are thinking alike @silversaver888 !!๐๐
Crystal Clear water where I can see the bottom!!
Not necessarily the bottom, but definitely the surroundings!
Like the oceans in Hawaii!

I am sure the ocean is beautiful in Hawaii @silversaver888 !๐ค๐
I have walked in the ocean in Oregon in the summer, but Iโve never gone swimming in saltwater. Iโm sure itโs a lot of fun!๐

I don't like swimming where I can't see the bottom, so I feel ya on not being keen to jump in Keith's pond, my friend! Clear water all the way for me! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Definitely my friend....๐
It's a nice pond, but I guess I was spoiled by Olympic sized chlorinated pools Lol!๐
I've swum in a lot of large, beautiful pools too, my friend, and I loved the ones that were clear without any chlorine! Salt or copper does the trick too! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Copper does very well my friend!!๐
In Colorado our hot tub was sanitized with copper, chlorine is really tough on your skin and the equipment!!๐
Exactly, that's how pools were kept clean in the Roman Empire! Indeed, I'm no fan of chlorine at all! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Copper works very well, I didn't even discover this until we moved to Colorado!
Chlorine always dries my skin out๐
I only recently discovered this use for it, which I think is amazing! I want a big beautiful swimming pool with a pebble bottom, and that's kept clean with copper! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
That sounds awesome, my friend!๐โบ๏ธ
I need to look into copper sanitation for our hot tub this summer!๐
It does to me too, my friend! That sounds like a fantastic idea, and imagine no more chlorine! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Easier on the skin easier on the pool and equipment!๐๐คโบ๏ธ
And it's actually beneficial for the body, too! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Very true, I tried to stay away from chemicals as much as possible!๐๐๐
That's excellent, my friend, and it can be quite challenging in many areas due to the ridiculous amount of deleterious chemicals to which most people's systems are subjected and overloaded!
My son works for the water district in a small town close to Seattle. Thankfully, they voted against adding fluoride to their water!๐๐
That's so good to hear, my friend, and that's happening in more and more places now, which is excellent to the max! ๐ ๐ ๐ โจ ๐ค
It makes me especially glad that we are on a private well, where they canโt add things to it and itโs pure water coming out of the mountains!๐๐๐
That is a glorious thing for sure, my friend, and so few people can say that! It's hard to be spring water! ๐ ๐ ๐ โจ ๐ค
Our society grown so large and is dependent on municipal water supply that water standards will never match spring water!๐๐ฎ
Yes, more water is necessary, but how they go about providing it seriously needs some improvements! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Years ago, they had a drought in Cincinnati. The Ohio river dropped significantly and was covered with algae.
Even after they filtered the water that they extracted from Wells along the shore, you could still taste the algae!๐
Yikes, that sounds incredibly unpleasant, my friend! I imagine that lots of people bought their water during that time! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
We did definitelyโฆ.. it was kind of a surprise evening buying bags of ice tasted like algae!๐ฌ
Oh lordy, well, you definitely know from where they got the water! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Very true my friend it was completely undrinkable....
It was so hot that year, I was building a house, and I would buy bags of ice and let it melt in a water cooler and drink the water that melted!๐
I want a 20 pound bag of ice every other day!!!
Yikes, that's a lot of algae! It's not the algae itself about which I'd be concerned, but rather all the chemicals in the water! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Very true ....Cincinnati has a lot of factories, and for many years everything was just dumped straight into the river!๐
Exactly, and that doesn't bode well for the drinkability of the water! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
It is better than it used to be, some of the creeks were fluorescent green for years.........๐ณ
Well, it's very good to hear that the situation has improved. Nature has an astounding capacity to clean, clear, and rebound. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Very true my friend and people are more aware now of what they did years ago, and are trying to protect the streams!๐๐๐
The more awareness that exists, the better things will become! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Absolutely spot on, if people will open their minds!๐๐๐
Exactly, my friend, they have to be willing to open their minds to new information and perspectives! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Like the old saying, you can lead a horse to water, but you canโt make it drink!๐ฎ๐
Precisely. People can have all the tools necessary to come to an accurate understanding, but if they don't make use of them, then the tools are useless. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Very true... also very sad that some people choose not to use these tools, and stay trapped in the matrix!!๐
Sad, and also very frustrating! It blows my mind to the max! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Very sad my friend hard to believe they would choose to stay in the matrix!!๐
For many, it's their only context of understanding, since they still believe that it's real, so they tune out everything else, including useful new information that could help them escapre from it! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Still so hard to understand why they can't see the forest from the trees!!๐
I've been trying to understand this for quite a few years now too, my friend! It defies logic! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
I you figure it out you'll have to enlighten me Lol๐๐
It's a deal, my friend. I think that it will be an intense area of study for many years to come. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Very much so my friend, and technology keeps changing so it will be a never-ending learning curve !!๐๐๐
And some of those learning curves necessitate the unlearning of everything we thought we knew about something, and beginning with new eyes! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
That's the hard part my friend, people have trouble on learning what they have been taught their whole life that isn't true!๐
Indeed, and that's going to hit a lot of people pretty hard, especially if they hadn't already begun to pay attention, open their minds, and research on their own! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
I am afraid you are correct my friendโฆโฆ๐
So many people are not paying attention!!!
And even now, when everything is right in everyone's face, they still choose not to see! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Itโs really hard to understand why they donโt seeโฆ. Including my two grown sons!๐๐ณ
Wow you have such a lovely area there ๐ It's always good to read about your fun hikes. Wish I also lived closer to nature. Happy new month ahead!

I'll pass on swimming in that pond! lol
The weather sure looks better and it makes hiking a lot nice for sure. How are your wife and furry kids doing?
I think everyoneโs agreeing that swimming in that pond is a hard pass Lol!๐
I guess Iโve gotten soft. I prefer swimming in crystal clear chlorinated water!โบ๏ธ
Everyone is doing well here, hope you are enjoying your morning coffee in the California sunshine!๐๐
