Title: Update on Diverter Valve
Post by: Lori on January 04, 2005, 02:41:02 pm
Hello all!!!

So...I finally got around to calling my dealer yesterday and asking about the status on my new diverter valve (the one I broke off with my brute strength...LOL)!!!  They got it in and should be out today or maybe Thursday, as we are in a current ice storm warning.  The temps are hovering above freezing, but it is still coming down and by the time daylight is over (no sun through those clouds), it will be one slick icy mess!  :P

Of course, this kind of weather makes my boss very happy!!!  Cha-ching!  But it sure is a bummer when you are waiting for your new diverter valve!  Although, I probably wouldn't get to soak in the freezing rain anyway!  *sigh*   :'(

Ah, that's great! .  .  .  Consider trying it with a baseball cap.  I did that a week or so ago.  It was noooo fun getting in but once I was there it was pretty nice.

I got the idea from a book review on amazon.com called "Astronomy for Hottubers."  I think it was wmccall's

Oh yeah!

I meant to let you guys know that the diverter valve moves so easy now.  It was really hard to move it before, shoot, even from when I first got it.  Well...it was hard to move when the jets were going, thought it was from the pressure of the water, but now I can move it with one finger, even with the jets on!

Must have been dirty or defective, and I just never realized it!

It was really nice sitting in the falling freezing rain!!!

Hello all!!!

Thursday, as we are in a current ice storm warning.  The temps are hovering above freezing, '(



This one stayed west of us, so no Christmas repeat. However, its been 3 straight days of cold wind and rain. These are the only conditions to keep me out of my spa.

Spring must be coming I saw my nieghbor getting his boat out.

I said, "I saw my neighbor getting his boat out!"

I thought it was funny.  You see, its been raining here 4 straight days.  I saw on the news someone was waterskiing behind a Ford F-150 on a major street.

Yesterday's West Wing episode saw C.J. Craig and Kristin Chenoweth as the new girl who is replacing her as the lead communications advisor on the show (aka Annabeth Schott) walking side by side where the audience is shown a tad of a height challenge. Question is posed to her as to how tall she is.  Response - 4'11''.  Allison Janney (aka C.J. Craig) is just over 6'.  

On a more related topic. When we bought our tub last year, our dealer included in the price (which is wirtten on the invoice, new diverter valves as soon as Sundance would come out with them.  The reason is that they are much more quiet.  Well they cannot get them for some time still.  Anyone know why the delay??

The dove brought an olive branch to my neighbors boat. I may get to use my spa tonight!  I-71 may be closed a little longer.
