Me: Woke up several times last night, but made myself stay in bed until about 5:00AM. As soon as I get another cup of coffee down, I'm gonna go soak in the hot tub.

We've been pondering putting a tub out on the patio. But I'm skeert the ducks will find it ... Ahhhhh ... Hmmmm ... "attractive". I guess I could screen in the patio and make it a kinda garden room type thing. Hell ... I dunno. I could just soak in the bathtub too. Grumpy can't get in with me and bug me there. Hmmmm ... Brb ... In a few ... Lol

@THAT Gurl; Check out Tuff Spas. Emerald Springs Hot Tubs in Bethany carries them. Mine is the Model 150, and has an ozone purifier, which keeps the water sparkling clean. I do put about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of chlorine in it once a week or so just to make sure the balance is right, using a test kit to check. One thing that sold me on Tuff Spas is the hard, easily retractable cover. You can pop the thing open with one hand; there's just no need to set your drink down in order to get in the tub. They are well made, and hold the heat well too due to great insulation. Totally digital operation; so simple a Jarhead can do it. You may pay a bit more for the Tuff Spas, but IMO, you get what you pay for and when I replace it, if I live long enough to need to do so, I'd buy another one in a heart beat.

I keep it at 102 in the cool/cold months and just turn the heater off during the summer. I like the blue underwater light best at night too. I found some little drink umbrellas in a nice blue too, so as to better keep the snowflakes out of my hot chocolate.

1) it was a great morning to soak in the hot tub, I love cold weather soaks can’t stand it I’m the summer
2) who drinks coffee before getting in the hot tub? LOL i have to wait until after the hot tub for my coffee......or put a porta potty right next to it .

The coffee pot is the second thing I stumble to in the mornings, right after a stop in the bathroom. My eyes aren't in focus, my brain is still half asleep, and my ambulatory skills are totally lacking until I get a cup of strong coffee down. That allows me enough cognitive ability to manage to find and get in the hot tub. I generally emerge after about 20 minutes a completely changed man; alert, refreshed, and renewed.

And oh yes, you are so right about how great it is on a cold winter day!
