We've had pretty good luck with frozen stuff staying frozen as long as the freezer wasn't opened during the outage too much to let cold out.
But then, our outages all seem to happen in winter when it's cold out!
Well, I have now sat here all morning when I should be doing other things... Like having a good time! (not that the chat on the thread hasn't been good!)
ecurbh and I are going to bathe horses, Sonya is coming over to visit 'cuz it's too nice out today to be workin' (she says), and we are going to give horses baths and then ride.
Everyone have a nice afternoon!
I had a bit of an issue come up today with one of the troop support packages I mailed out May 3. This package was to the guy who took Tom's place in Baghdad, Perk. The only marking on the returned package was "undeliverable." I have been very concerned.
That platoon's time in Iraq was extended until October the week after my s-i-l returned to Germany in December. Several weeks ago they were sent forward to Fallujah when the push into that area became intense. After several hours of calling I finally reached my daughter to ask what she knew. They have heard nothing either. Jill thinks Perk is probably okay because they would have heard something from someone if he wasn't. But, she isn't sure why the package wouldn't go through either. Perk and the platoon have received a couple even since they were sent forward to Fallujah.
Hopefully, the war has interfered with postal deliveries and this is nothing. That's what Jill seems to think anyway. She is going to get Tom to do some checking tonight if she can to find out more. I will let you know if I hear something else.
No such luck. I came home and checked the freezer and I'm glad I did...I now have a laundry basket full of very cold, but completely defrosted raw meat.
We gotta cook it now. The freezer is full of water (condensation maybe?) and one of the packages of meat leaked. So I cleaned it and have it open and airing.
Sigh...
I don't know what we'll do once we cook it...buy another cooler and some more ice, I guess.
Two things on my wish list...
1. A generator
2. A safe room.
