Swimming: Pool or Lake?

When I was a kid? Lake every time. These days, a pool.

The Beach or the Mountains?

If it's a packed beach, I'll take the mountains. If it's an empty warm beach, I'll take the beach.

Ocracoke Island, NC springs to mind as an example of an amazing beach that is usually pretty quiet. That would be my choice.

Here's my idea of a beach. Not another person in sight, and mountains right down to the water.

That looks mighty familiar..

Lake. Pools have too many chemicals, and I don't swim in that

@Bacpacker and @bkt have you guys been seeing the houses on the Outer Banks collapsing into the ocean? Prime location. Knuckle heads.

Not recently - we haven't been down there in years, unfortunately. But I've seen it happen. The locals have homes on the sound side. The huge rental houses are built on the ocean and occasionally the house and the land it was on disappear. Someone told me that if your house is damaged or destroyed and the land (sand) is still there, insurance will pay out. But if the sand gets washed away, too, then your property is simply gone and insurance won't pay anything.

Well over the past couple of weeks they’ve been losing them frequently. Makes me kinda mad, seeing all that stuff go into the ocean. Why don’t they clean it up? Just sayin’!
Beach!!!

 

[Bacpacker]

There are houses go down there during most every major storm. I can't imagine insurance cost for a house there.

How about a donkey, there are always plenty for adoption!!

Mules are like 4 wheel all terrain vehicles one can ride.

Lake. Pools have too many chemicals, and I don't swim in that

Pool. Lake has too many microscopic parasites and fish and seaweeds that touch my legs and freak me out.

Mountains, plenty of lakes and ponds in the mountains

New question time!

Hamburger or Hot Dog?

 

[Mountain trapper]

Hamburger

 

[Hooch]

Bacon cheeseburger with onions..yum!

 

[Pearl]

Hamburger

 

[Pearl]

Toasted bun or soft bun? (For your hamburger or hot dog)

 

[Morgan101]

Hamburger, unless I am at the ballpark, then it has to be a hot dog.

 

[Morgan101]

Soft bun for me.

 

[Pearl]

Toasted

 

[d_marsh]

The really good hot dog is fantastic, unfortunately most are very average, so hamburger.

Toasted if someone else makes it, soft if I have to make it.

 

[Bacpacker]

Burger
Soft bun
Only dog I'll eat is made with bun size smoked sausage.

 

[Patchouli]

hamburger, soft bun
If you force me to eat a hot dog, chili on it please, with onions...and cheese, soft bun.
Hot air balloon or ultra light?
Hot air balloon

 

[Pearl]

Ultra light

 

[Bacpacker]

Balloon

 

[d_marsh]

Ultra light

 

[Amish Heart]

Hebrew National or Nathan's hot dog, or else hamburger. But I'm picky about my hamburger. Can't be Sisco Foods, has to be real stuff from a real cow from my freezer. I like a soft Brioche Bun.
No hot air balloon or ultra light. I don't like heights.

Have you ever tried the Kirkland dogs from Costco? They taste a lot like Hebrew National but cost less.

 

[Amish Heart]

Nope. We don't have a Costco, just Costco shipping for shelf stable stuff. There's a Sams about an hr away.

 

[SoulSeeker]

Hamburger or Hotdog, It's easier to ask me how high is up. Both, either or, I like polish or smoked sausage for my hotdogs
Toasted bun
ultra light, I can glide instead of drop
