We have a hot tub!

This morning more than a dozen Ant Hill Co-op members, friends, relatives, and poor blokes off the street who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong timevolunteered or were volunteered to help move a 900 lb object thirty miles on what may have been the coldest day of the year. We began with a pancake breakfast, involving blueberries and chocolate chips. Then we drove out to the location of the hot tub in a three-car caravan. When we first attempted to lift it, despite a dozen people giving their best, it didn't budge. It was frozen to the deck. A little maneuvering and we got it up and onto a trailer. The ground frozen solid, we were able to drive the trailer right into the back yard for easier loading. Our hot tub now sits in the driveway here at Ant Hill Co-op, awaiting preparation of a suitable foundation in the yard a few meters away.

Now I just need a windmill to power the thing.

Dude, congrats.

Y'all look cold as hell standing there - I want you all to jump in RIGHT NOW and stop freezing!

Windmills, as it turns out, are terribly difficult to acquire in NY. Or maybe that's just in the Adirondack Park.
