Grandpa's Old Deck

Another fun little thing we liked to do as kids, was jump off our grandpa's 40ft deck. Just for fun!
And below we'd raked up a lot off soft dirt and ash. The dog, Benjamin Franklin, would help too! We'd throw his bone in the dirt and he'd dig for it, creating more soft dirt to jump in! Some of our friends thought this was crazy and jumped off at a not so high point of the deck. But many joined us jumping from the end.
Well... after a few years, we learned that our grandpa had lost all of his saw blades in the exact spot where we he had jumped! He said we're lucky none of us broke bones or got cut open by one of his blades.
Another thing that happened on one of those days.... my girl friend and I were walking back and the guys peed off the deck.... and made us their targets. Gross!!!
