Does anyone remember the round LeTourneau public swimming pool?

When we were kids in the 80s, one of the pools we went to in the summer was on the LeTourneau university grounds, not far from Mobberly Ave, right across from where Bodacious BBQ is now.

What I remember most about it was that it was circular, with a 6 foot wide shallow wading pool all the way around the outer edge. There wasnt a deep end, it had a deep half.

I have a lot of great memories at that pool. I smashed my finger trying to move the heavy grates (long story) and its still mis-shaped to this day. I got kicked out of the pool once for throwing bang snaps at girls (I had a funny way of flirting)

Id love to hear about any memories or stories anyone might have about this place. A pic or 2 would be incredible.

What's going on here?

I had noticed the cobs were getting chewed up, then I saw this:

App required to charge???

what is it with some of these stations (looking at you, graviti) requiring you to download and use their app just to charge? Can you imagine the uproar there would be if all ICE owners were forced to use an app just to pump fuel? I dont get why charging stations burden 100% of their customers with the extra hassle simply for owning an EV.

And then what if the app errors out.....repeatedly.....I might be speaking from experience here. It never did power up the cable but it sure as fuck charged me...that part of the app works perfectly.

I wish they would just put a damn card reader on the charger and be done with it. I dont need yet another shady app snooping on who knows what.

long shot (no pun intended) but here goes:

Does anybody here know anybody in the Longview area that owns/rides a Royal Enfield motorcycle?

So long and thanks for 20 summers

I honestly dont remember when I bought these, it was at least 20 years ago. Theyve racked up untold thousands of miles, at least 2 decade's worth of warm weather, and even absorbed a few minor get-offs without a hitch.

The left zipper had been getting wonky these past few months, but today it finally gave up completely. I got to ride home from work with the leg taped shut.

But, huge shoutout to JR for building stuff that lasts. I would be replacing these with a similar set from JR, but they no longer make them with full-length side zippers, and the new ones are impossible to put on/take off while wearing footwear, which is a huge plus (for me, anyway).

No major gear brands make mesh overpants except icon, so I will be getting the Icon Mesh AF as a replacement.
