Go soak your...

 

If you said, "head," that would be the likely answer.  But, I'm talking hot tub again today, so you'll drown if you do that.

I was out checking the balance on the hot tub this morning, prior to getting in for a soak.  While I generally prefer to soak at night, so I can look at the stars and watch planes fly over, after the HOA board meeting ran until almost 9:00 last night, I wasn't up for that.  I still had to get something to eat and wind down.  So, this morning it is.

I opened the lid on it to compare the temperature on the hot tub info and what the floating probe said - they are always pretty close, but the floating thingy reads down to the 1/10 of a degree.

Fortunately, I had help...


 Murphy is a curious boy.  He will frequently come visit me while I am in the hot tub (during the daytime).  He will also hop up on there when the lid is closed.  Or when it is open and the jets are running.

No, he has never joined me in there.  Well, not yet.

Several of our cats have enjoyed playing in the bathtub - when dry. However they have sometimes been unpleasantly surprised if water was left in there and it was calm. Ooops! A wet, furry, very angry chainsaw.

LOL Surprise! Murphy walks into the shower when I get out - he's OK with the water, but it isn't like in a bathtub. Same with Rufus. Izzy, on the other hand, would do the "foot shake dance" if her paws got even a little wet. She fell off the boat once (well, her leash caught as she was hopping off the boat at the dock)... yep, all fangs and claws... my hand has the scars to prove that.
