More hot and humid, for at least the next 30 days, probably 60.\u00a0 So there’s that.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
And while I was doing those small things I was keeping an eye on the fridge temps.\u00a0\u00a0 So I noticed when it got to 50F inside.\u00a0 Which isn’t good.\u00a0 Rolls of biscuits pop when they’re at 50 for any length of time.\u00a0 It’s actually a pretty good warning that the fridge got hot…<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 The little voice in my head told me not to sell it.\u00a0 Since it wasn’t telling me to kill anyone or burn things, I listened.\u00a0 That paid off.\u00a0\u00a0 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…\u00a0 A bit of lube wouldn’t have gone amiss for the narrowest spot in the path.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I’ll get stuff organized today at some point.\u00a0 So, prepping success!\u00a0 Go me!\u00a0 And now I’ve got a probably broken fridge to get rid of.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 Since that would involve roof work, I probably won’t.\u00a0 Too danged hot.<\/p>\n
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\/<\/p>\n
Keep stacking, you know you want to…<\/p>\n
