That's right Hans! I like beer too! But there's nothing nicer than being out in the middle of nowhere, and offering your friends a freshly made marg or pina colada.

I just turned off the heat in my hot tub!

Works well! That and a bucket of ice and a fan when I go to bed, cheapest air conditioner!

But I got to get one of those gas powered blenders! :rockon:

My vote is the kiddie pool and an Elmo sprinkler to top it off :) You can set it to the mist dial, and you're set!!! :)

Budget? I got the weed eater motor for free, from a gardener friend. I bought a blender from Value Village for $5, and gutted it. All it took was some time to make up the adapter plate to connect the motor to the jug, and bolt some pieces together. Yum.... frosty tasty drinks!
