More hot and humid, for at least the next 30 days, probably 60. So there’s that.
Was doing pretty much nothing outside yesterday, given the ‘boil your brains in saline’ temperatures outside and in the garage, but I did eventually go out and do some small things.
And while I was doing those small things I was keeping an eye on the fridge temps. So I noticed when it got to 50F inside. Which isn’t good. Rolls of biscuits pop when they’re at 50 for any length of time. It’s actually a pretty good warning that the fridge got hot…
Long story short, I replaced the fridge with the new (to me) one that can be a fridge or freezer that I picked up cheap a couple of weeks ago. The little voice in my head told me not to sell it. Since it wasn’t telling me to kill anyone or burn things, I listened. That paid off. There was still a lot of monkey+fornication+football to get the fridge unloaded into working fridges, doors off of both, and squeeze one out and on in… A bit of lube wouldn’t have gone amiss for the narrowest spot in the path. Then put it back together and watch the temps drop, while putting some stuff in the fridge that didn’t quite fit in anywhere else. I’ll get stuff organized today at some point. So, prepping success! Go me! And now I’ve got a probably broken fridge to get rid of.
We’ll see if the A/C in the garage caught up overnight, and if there’s anything I can do to help it (like install the powered ventilator I bought last year) or something similar. Since that would involve roof work, I probably won’t. Too danged hot.
Now, I’m not saying you should have a fridge sitting idle in case your’s fails, but it was very nice to avert a crisis once again through /start echo-y voice/ the power of preparednessssssssss….. /end voice/
Keep stacking, you know you want to…
