Have you ever been sitting in a hot tub and said, “Man, I’d love to be on a boat right now?” Or, maybe you said something like, “I’d kill to be in a hot tub right now,” while you were on a boat? Well, the geniuses over at Hot Tub Boats have put their brains to work, and became good friends with U.S.C.G. (United States Coast Guard) to provide both a hot tub and boat, and have now created what you see above.

Now…let’s get to what you need to know:

The boat is fifteen feet in length, and it can fit six people and has a run time of ten hours. So choose your friends wisely; you’ll be quite close to one another.

The hot tub is eight feet in length and has width of four feet, and a maximum temperature of one-hundred and four degrees (Fahrenheit).

It has beautiful African Teak decks and a swimstep, as well as a waterproof stereo with wired remote for your MP3 player or iPod. So you can finally sing this song, and it will actually make sense.

While we’re on the topic of technical features, it has a 24-volt, joystick operated drive system that allows anyone to drive it—while sitting in pure relaxation. It is battery monitored, and comes with a Smart-Plug shore power connection.

There is no need to have a boaters’ education card to drive, rent or own this dream machine. So, if you’re feeling generous enough, you could let some of your other sea-dwellers drive it, too.

Alcohol is not allowed, which is probably a good thing because they’ve never mixed very well with hot tubs, anyway.

While you can purchase the boats anywhere, their weekday and weekend rentals are only in Seattle, which run Monday-Thursday at $139 an hour—with time slots going from 2-4 hours; however, if you’re going to do a weekend rental (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), it’ll cost you $159 per hour. And Hot Tub Boats does individual and small group memberships, as well as premium and corporate ones, too.

How long should you let new cigars rest in a humidor?

Cigar humidor

Looking at those beautiful, oily cigars you've just unboxed or unwrapped, the calling to light up is real. I get it. I always want to smoke my cigars right away, too. But you shouldn't. Mail day is always exciting after you've ordered a slew of new cigars. When they arrive, the real fun begins. You'll probably need to organize your humidor to make the new sticks fit or arrange them for optimal humidification. As you're handling them, it's difficult to resist the temptation to crack open the cellophane or boxes and smoke one right away. While you can do that in most cases, I would recommend against it. Depending on where those cigars came from, where you live, and how they traveled, they might need a little time to rest in a humidor. They'll need to replenish some humidity and moisture or dry out a little.
How long should you let your new cigars rest?

When you put cigars in a humidor, especially one that's filled, they'll soak up and release humidity over time until they reach the average RH (relative humidity) that you have set inside your humidor. If you have a device like a that does this automatically, it will produce moisture and humidity to keep the levels optimal. You can also achieve the same thing with in smaller humidors, which release and soak up the humidity to match the levels on the label. Boveda packs come in a range of RH levels, from the low to mid-60s to the mid-70s.

The 11 best Kevin Costner movies, ranked

He has a full resume of films, but if you're a Costner fan, then you must see these movies

Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves

An all-American, blue-collar working man turned Hollywood essential, Kevin Costner has lived a life full of experience and dreams that some can only imagine. Starting out as a small kid -- 5'2" at high school graduation -- who moved around a lot, Costner was fond of things like poetry, writing, and singing in his Baptist choir. Outside of the arts, he was also very interested in sports of all kinds, which is reflected in his film career to this day. Also a man of the outdoors, Costner built his own canoe at 18 and paddled it through sections where Lewis and Clark ventured. Fun facts aside, Costner had a full and interesting life before the world got to know him as the charming and eloquent movie man we know him to be today.
From his past life, accomplishments, and hobbies, Costner was fully prepared to write, direct, and act for the screen as he fulfilled yet another lifelong dream. A man who was once called "The King of the Sports Movie," Costner has been able to act in films of a subject matter near and dear to his heart that became the films he is best known for. And that doesn’t include his many other successful movies having to do with politics, crime, and romance that also make for some of his best roles. Luckily, we’re here to talk about all of those films at once as we celebrate the man who has accomplished more in one lifetime than some could in many. Here are the best Kevin Costner movies of all time.

The best Quentin Tarantino movies, ranked – Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and more

If you haven't seen these films at least one time, you need to ... and then watch them again and again

Scene from Pulp Fiction, John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson

Of all the contemporary film auteurs, perhaps no one’s work has permeated pop culture as thoroughly as Quentin Tarantino's. This director’s hyper-stylized, retro fantasy worlds have come to define cinematic coolness. His clever mashups of genres, exquisite sense of aesthetics, impeccable editing, uproarious suspensefulness, and impossibly quippy dialogue have been endlessly imitated.
Given the current political landscape, Tarantino’s work has undergone a serious critical re-evaluation from Black and feminist critics and scholars who point toward both his allegedly abusive behaviors and the offensive politics and rhetoric of his films. It’s true that in this new light, for many, there may be nothing redeemable about his entire oeuvre.
However, to discard all Quentin Tarantino movies would discount the impossible talent of his frequent collaborators and stars, such as Sally Menke (who edited all of Tarantino’s movies until her death in 2010), Uma Thurman (who not only played the protagonist of Tarantino’s most iconic movies but was also credited as a co-writer on Kill Bill), Samuel L. Jackson (a frequent Tarantino star), and many more.
With that in mind, here’s our (subjective!) ranking of the greatest directed Quentin Tarantino movies of all time.
