Home and Auto Does your home have a pool or hot tub?

I have a decent sized in ground. Maintenance isn’t bad if you’re lazy and don’t give a shit; I don’t worry about pH and all that other crap, I just dump a liter of liquid chlorine a day (runs me about $20 a week). Repairs and electricity is a different story; it’s cost me thousands to replace a motor, electrical lines, and fix leaks, and it adds at least $100 to the monthly electric bill. You could do laps in it but the stupid part is, I can’t swim. I just bob around on pool noodles drinking beer.

So are you glad you have it, or do you kind of wish you didn't?

I liked the idea of it but it’s a pain in the ass. I wish it was about half the size, and heated and enclosed. As is, I can only use it June, July, and August; enclosed, I’d at least get my money’s worth.

That’s exactly how I always pictured you. A loser who can’t swim that bobs on a noodle.
