Evidence LXI: Skateboarding sometimes involves not skateboarding

Hoss and I checked this pool a year or so ago. Hoss, the silversmith with the silver tongue, knocked, but the old lady shut us down. We don't forget, however, so we went back the other day to see what the deal was. Pool still empty, and we knocked on the door. What could be the harm in jsut going and checking it out? So we did. Thing's a piece of shit slam pit. Good to know it's worth no more effort. Prior to scoping this, we went to skate one of the ones from the previous post, but nosy neighbors were out. All I gotta say is, in the words of the immortal Sloppy Sam Batterson, sometimes skateboarding involves not skateboarding. 

Hoss called with a new one, however. We went to check it, and found the spider web over it. This is the second pool I've seen with this set up. We pulled the net back a little, and got to work. Some crappy water, but not too bad, and a ton of leaves. It needed a scrub, but the water was turned off. We scoped the nearby church, but their faucets had keys. We found a neighbor who wasn't home, filled up our buckets, headed back and scrubbed. By then it was dark, but we'll be back to shred.
