we had a visitor that thought the melted water on top of the cold tub was a drinking fountain, lol…

my housemate went out and shooed it away…
wonder if those claws made any holes in the plastic cover🤪…

last week we discovered that the heater, that keeps the cold tub at 5° C, had tripped the power switch…
we couldn’t figure out what caused the problem, but it didn’t happen again… until this morning…
twice, while I was making soup in the kitchen, it tripped again…

seems to be some connection with the dishwasher and light above the stove and maybe the heater in the cold tub… turned off the stove light and didn’t have anymore problems…
fingers crossed 🤞…

got a photo of the cold tub setup…

two years ago it got used nearly every day, and last year it was barely used at all…
for the last few years the tub has been on the top deck…
this year it has moved to the lower deck and I think it is going to work well there…
the heater (which keeps the temperature at 5° Celsius), and pump, are attached to the side and removed when the tub is being used…
you can see the frozen footprints in the photo…

well, last Sunday I finally made it into the plunge tub…

didn’t get as deep as my neck… it was chilly, but I made it to two minutes…
maybe, if I do it again, I will try to get down to my neck, lol…
certainly did wake me up, but I was still shivering and my legs were cold half an hour later;-)…
fun😳🤪🤔…
