Backnang - Day 10

27 August 2008
Mineral Freibad Again
As the weather was holding we decided to do the Freibad again. Tammy and I did the morning bun run. As well as the usual pretzels I got some sturdy pot scrubbers. Stainless steel doesn't rust but it sure isn't non stick. Back at the house I dumped the ashes onto the compost heap and set to work on the barbecue. Stainless steel holds dirt very tenaciously but liberal use of detergent and elbow grease got the grill clean again.
The rest of the day was spent in the Freibad again and there is not a lot more to report. Being a weekday there were more trains rumbling along the south side as we swam. We were last out again and I sat near the exit listening to the snack machine. This was a popcorn machine that prepared fresh popcorn while you waited. The annoying gimmick designed to entertain you for the three minutes was that it played the catchy Euro-electro-pop tune "Popcorn" while it was popping. This track was named "Worst Moog Tune of All Time" by Entertainment Weekly. As it took the ladies a very long time to get changed I heard this quite a few times.
Where did we eat our evening meal that evening? Was it back in a Chinese restaurant in Backnang or was it the pub in Großaspach. Or did Dad cook something up in the kitchen. I can't remember.
