Ups and downs of life….

October 1, 2024 good morning Fall..

Ups and downs of life….

So yesterday we heading to Spokane Valley to return a part that was not needed in the restoring of the truck..  And we got our money back for that…  Then headed to a spa place to find out if our motors were good or not… for our hot tub…  Scored well on that..  as BOTH of them were just fine… The guy is one of those older guys who knows his stuff.. without a computer involved.. Remember those guys?   So he made a suggestion of the fact the heater might be the problem.. maybe it kicked out the breaker..  Sound reasonable. 

Off we go to the restaurant the King loves and not so much from me… Top of China… it is an all your can eat place.    The food was ok.. seem not really hot, but not cold either.. which was odd as steam was floating thru the air.   After we ate, we headed home.. and the traffic wasn’t bad.

Upon arriving home… I went to get something out of my jacket pocket… when it dawn on me… after I could not find it.. I LEFT IT AT THE RESTURANT… which is 45 miles away.. I called and yes they had it..  told them I would come and get it today… 

The King comes in..  he is bummed..  The motors are fine as we knew… and the heater is fine too… THEN he noticed a  little bit of smoke..   it is the master board..   fried…   This is a major part.

So now the decision…. Is ..  it worth the price.. or is it time to give up on it..  We decided… the hot tub is 20+ years old..  While we would love to get a new one..  but while getting the motor checked.. I saw that they average $10,000.. for a small one.. and that is what we would get, as we don’t need one as big as this one is. 

So we will think about that for bit .. and decide..  Maybe there is someone who repairs master boards.
