Blowback

Do you really need flippers in a pool that size, Patrick? Or arm floats, Norman?

Well, yeah, Norman probably DOES need those.

Bob is mildly amused by this annual event. Bob secretly uses the pool sometimes for a refreshing bath. After all, a rare South American parrot deserves that. Attention must be paid to Bob. He is a deep thinker of complex philosophical ideas. Bob deserves a great deal of R-E-S-P-E-C-T for sharing his deep thoughts with us.

A small hand pump really doesn’t cost that much & a lot easier on the lungs.

Not helping, Penny!

Back in the olden days, our vacuum had an exhaust you could connect the hose to and we had a little gadget that let you funnel the air into beach balls and inner tubes … back when there were inner tubes for cars.

They should be taking turns!

Back in the day, I had 3 kids and lot of stuff to blow up, so I would will be like Ralph after a while!

Give it to Norm, he has lots of hot air.

I wish!

Small air compressors are pretty cheap.

Updating the storyline where Norman was at work: the plumber came today and fixed the problem. Also, I had a sink that wasn’t draining well. I was hoping to not get to the point where you eventually do if you just use Liquid Plumber (real product, actual spelling) too many times.

That’s what she said, Ralph!
