today I emptied and refilled the hot tub after my grandson arrived to move the tub a tiny bit before it was refilled…

when we replaced the arm on the hot tub a while ago, we moved it out a bit which meant that I couldn’t open one side of the cover without opening the gate… bit of a pain on a cold night…

it takes about 3 hours to empty and about half an hour to fill…

waiting now to see how long it will take to get up to the correct temperature…

the hot tub was at 104 this afternoon… so I quickly changed my plans and spent a bit of time enjoying the warmth…

this is the second time it had made it to that temperature since I got home… it hasn’t been that warm in months…

on Tuesday evening I was in it for a while too… although the temperature went down rapidly once I got in…

apparently now I need a new spa pack and they guarantee that this is going to fix the problem… it if doesn’t I am going to have to take some drastic steps because this has gone on way too long…

I miss my nightly relaxation…

the silly hot tub is still not working properly… spent some time at the store and have a few more things to try… the temperature was 101 when I left home and when I returned it was 98… not really the direction I was hoping for, sigh…

spent some time with my leg up and iced it before being picked up to go to our last PTE play of the year…

leg is feeling good and the play was funny…

weather has been rather silly recently…

Thursday afternoon the sun was shining and there were puddles on the streets as I drove home… looked out the window in the evening and snow was falling…

Friday morning I took some pictures of the snow and the cool patterns that have formed as the snow melts…

since then there’s been lots of sunshine but temperatures have been below normal… today when the kids were here for dinner, the boys went down the street to play football in the field…

maybe, just maybe, Spring is coming…

and so the ongoing saga of the hot tub continues…

yesterday I spoke with the technician from Krevco… we were on the phone for nearly half an hour… we went over all his previous ideas, a few times… then he asked me to send him pictures of the readout a few times over the next few days…

the temperature in the hot tub continues to jump between 104 and somewhere in the 80s… no pattern… I’ve been recording the temperature for days and had sent the chart to them last week…

after our very long conversation my daughter and I went out for our evening hot tub and as we were opening the cover, one of the arms snapped…

haven’t heard back from the technician… so on top of the temperature fluctuations not sure I can open the tub on my own, sigh…

hope that Krevco is open next week;-(…

hot, or not…

last night when I got home I had to add water to the hot tub as the repair person advised they couldn’t test it until it had more water in it…

so there I was at 6:30 pm topping it up… in the dark… at 6:30, sigh…

got hold of them again today and spoke with a different repair person who was able to explain it to me a little more clearly…

apparently the heater needs to be replaced… hopefully they will be here tomorrow…

not a cheap repair but they are confident this will fix the problem…

looking forward to being able to go out without having to wonder whether the temperature will be 103 or ???…

fun peeking out the window today, whenever I walked by…

watched a big hot tub get installed in the neighbour’s yard…

yesterday I heard what was clearly the pad getting laid… and this morning I watched as they opened the fence, brought the tub in and then hooked everything up…. since then it has had the cover on as the water warms…

was out checking mine because the temperature has been dropping for days… been peeking at the temperature over the last week… it had gone down to 73 but this morning was up to 96…

called to arrange for a service call so this can get fixed, but haven’t heard back from them yet… will call again tomorrow…

hurray, its Friday… very happy about this… been a long week…

sunshine started early…

this morning I finished planting the morning glories and moon flowers…

excited to see if I will get blossoms earlier than usual this year…

was bright and sunny the whole day and the temperature was 12 degrees when I was heading home… so nice to be a bit warmer…

made Japanese Ginger Pork Burgers with Bok Choy  and carrot salad for dinner… instead of the brioche bun, used romaine lettuce… how good am I;-)…

tasty and healthy…

hoping for warm and sunny days over the weekend…

wishing you sunshine and rest…

hot tub has been doing some weird stuff… when I went out a few nights ago it was 100 degrees rather than the normal 103… made for a short hot tub, lol… 

as I got home last night it was down to 93 degrees… called the spa people, but of course they were closed… on my way out this morning I checked the temp again and it was back up to 102… 

spoke with them this morning and they don’t know what the problem was… bit worrisome, but I will keep my eye on it and if it misbehaves will have to call them to come out and have a look…

tonight it was back to 103… yay…

topped off what seemed like a very long week, although it was only four working days, with a few squares of dark chocolate from Aschenti Cocoa…

this is so not how I wanted to end a very long day…

been outside and cleaned out the pipe, but the furnace is not happy…

waiting for a call back from the service people… 

hope I get to bed before tomorrow’s very early start;-(…

have now spoken with the furnace doctor who said it should be fine as the heat has started to come through… apparently all the blowing snow has caused lots of problems… 

even if the furnace stops working in the morning it shouldn’t get much below 55 by the end of the day…

good news, I guess…
