Experimenting with a cooler

June 23, 2014 by Lauren 9 Comments

Ever since we killed the little refrigerator in the basement, we haven’t had a place to put drinks to keep cold. It is absolutely not a problem since I am exclusively drinking Tang and instant coffee, but since people are coming over, I thought it might be nice to offer them a beverage that didn’t need to be reconstituted.

The solution? A cooler. The problem? Ice is messy. I am testing a system that will enable me to just switch out a frozen gallon of water without disturbing the contents. So far, so good. (Meaning that I assembled this an hour ago and have no idea how well it will work.)

Hmmmm. I see the problem. Needs more Tang.

    Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin’?

    Heh. “We thought you was a toad.”

    UPDATE: Not effective. The stuff on the bottom is quasi-cold, but the top stuff is ‘sitting down in the basement anyway’ cold. The plan is to just move non-essential refrigerator stuff in there and keep drinks in the fridge.
