ah, paying for it!!!! I finally purchased after a year of looking in Feb 05. The tub was to be delivered in August. I had a long time to plan outside work patio, garden, electrical etc etc........ and I had to figure out how to pay for all of it.

My wife had agreed as long as it did not effect our pay checks. So February March and April I worked 400 hours of overtime. Paid for upon delivery!!!!!!! how sweet it is for the almighty overtime.

I missed out on alot of stuff, however did not work any extra from the day it was delivered, lol. The wife is still trying to think of things to get to keep me out of the house.

Phil..the onion snow is NOT the nor'easter we are expecting this weekend! The onion snow is usually a spring snow, wet and without much accumulation, that melts away fast. I think the name has to do with planting time for spring onions, but I know it as the best time to seed your lawn or put lime down!
Don't worry spiman, the groundhog says you have plenty of time to enjoy the new tub in the snow!

You are basically right Bonibelle, I always thought it meant a snowfall after the spring onions are planted, along the same lines as "indian summer".

I think I have a new job lined up, that will help with the bills. If not I'll send the wife out to get a second job while I will have to deal with the difficult "break in" period for the new tub.

Spiman, you have made me feel really bad for you.

So tomorrow when it is snowing like crazy, my son and I will have a snowy soak in your honor...Actually this will be our first opportunity to soak while it is snowing. Hubby and the oldest son have gone away with the Scouts this weekend and the younger one and I will have the tub to ourselves during the big storm!

Well I appreciate that Boni, I'll be sure and make a toast in your honor this after

Ok, Spiman..the snow has started and it is really coming down! I spent the morning splitting fire wood and stacking several days worth close to the house. I really need that soak.....My youngest son and I will see how cool it really is to soak in a nor'easter snow storm and I will report back....As tough as it is to wait for your tub, you will see that it is well worth it...

Boni...might I suggest wearing a baseball cap when you soak in a snow storm. Last snowstorm I wanted the "full" experience. While my husband wore a cap, I didn't. He was able to see, while I couldn't. It would greatly enhance the experience if I could keep my eyes open...lol. By the way where are you that its snowing already? We're still waiting patiently here in Poconos, Pa.

I am sure you have snow by now, Sunny. It is just starting to stick to the roads here but my deck and tub are covered! Our plans have changed a bit so I am not so sure that we will make it out tonight ...

I will keep your suggestion in mind. I usually wear a ski cap because I have a problem with my ears in the cold. Wonder how that would work out..ski cap and baseball cap..should be interesting. Thanks

Getting ready to go visit ours here in VA. We have about 4" so far with 2 or so coming overnight..

Hey now Boni, you made me a promise and I kept up my end with a toast in your honor, don't let me down......

Snowing here 1/2 decent, was out in the shop most of the day getting deck wood ready........

Spiman, the plans did change last night and my husband and older son came home because they were looking for blizzard conditions in New York this morning. Ended up baking muffins and watching a movie and no one made it out...I guess I will wait for you to get your tub and we can all go out during a snow storm! We did clean the top off about 4 times and still, this morning there was over 10 inches of snow on top! If the wind doesn't get too bad this afternoon, I am sure we will hit the tub. We will all need it after all the shoveling we need to do!

Tubbing during a "snow storm" doesn't do it for me. Light falling snow is wonderful, but wind and lots of precipitation make it very uncomfortable. Snowing pretty good here, wind is howling and high tide is comming. I think I'll watch it all from inside the house.
