Do you have a hot tub? #8292476 12/24/24 05:58 PM 12/24/24 05:58 PM

But this time of year a hot tub at 102° feels sinfully good. I'm considering another even though they are alot of maintenance. Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Put a 5 horse Evinrude on it so it would be more like a jacuzzi. Worked pretty good for a little while till a sawhorse broke. Was late at night and the neighbor lady had climbed in with me. Was pretty exciting trying to dodge that Evinrude when the saw horse collapsed. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

They are a lot of maintenance work. Have a lot of memories of the drunken misbehaves that happened in that tub. If I could turn it into a Hot Tub Time Machine, I would turn back time and do it again.

I have nothing clever to put here.

Got central heat and air so when it's 90 degrees outside I use it year round. Never thought of putting it outside. Why risk the fall in the winter if deck is froze over. I back out of my house garage . Pull into my building. 6 inches of snow no problems
