last night was my first in the hot tub for a really long time…
a screw had come loose on the left side cover and it took quite a while before we were able to screw it back in… then it needed to be filled and it took me ages to get that done…
looking for photos of it, I found this note about the day the hot tub arrived —- April 29, 2009…
and this one from my first hot tub on Mother’s Day, 2009…
the area around the tub has changed a lot since its arrival…
these photos reminded me when the right hand cover came off and was repaired…
these photos were taken on April 28, 2023…
apparently, the end of April has been an important period for the hot tub…
next up will be emptying the tub and figuring out if we can make the right side more stable for opening and closing…

I like how honest this feels—posts like this capture the little in-between moments that don’t always get talked about but are actually a big part of life.
Quick question: I’m talking with bloggers as part of some research—what’s been the most frustrating part of maintaining your site outside of writing posts like this?
thanks Gavin, I use my blog as a kind of journal for myself… once it was set up, I haven’t made many changes to the site… learning the new versions doesn’t usually take much time, so I can’t really think of anything that frustrates me…
Thanks very much – have a good rest of your week!
