@OliverDeathKnight hey, nothing wrong with wanting to go back to a playground. in a way, it's what all helps keep our sanity in one sense or another. One of the reasons that they have swingsets at public parks that have seats large enough to hold adults. I just wish they had the old metal equipment back.

Best wishes for that!

Was it his grass? As long as it was his grass that's a good way to go, I guess.
