My Coleman 52 qt steel belted cooler arrived last week and I picked it up today. I like the drain, which my old cooler doesn't have, and the lock which certainly looks to be bearproof! There is no advertising on that however, and the bears get smarter all the time.
It isn't nearly as difficult to lift as I thought it would be, but it's still empty. I will no doubt hoist it into the truck bed and fill it from there, adding the ice last. I will also carry my old cooler along to keep beverages in, so I'm not opening the lid on the big cooler quite as often.
I have been wanting this cooler for a long time now, and have watched the price go down little by little. Finally it reached a price acceptable to me, plus free shipping, so I jumped on it, and I'm glad I did.
- A Cool Mine On A Hot Day
Cool, as in cooler than it was outside! We are having all the summer that we didn't get in England. It was another 32C (89F) day here in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic and so we chose the early afternoon to go on a mine tour where the temperature was...
- The Heat Is Killing Me!
Even though it's a good 10 degrees cooler than earlier in the week, it is still in the mid to upper 90's, and I'm just sweltering! According to the weather reports, the overnight temps will consistently go down over the next few...
- Fired Up The Swamp Cooler
Before the temperature got to the high of 91F today, I decided to turn on the swamp cooler. In just a couple of minutes I could feel the difference, and could lower the fan from high to low. I keep a couple of windows open in the kitchen and...
- Quick Update To Sunday's Post
I went out and took pictures of the back of my Highlander. (Excuse the boxes and remnants of camping stuff.) I tried to lay the small seat flat and it doesn't show the true slant in these photos, but it's definitely there. I got in...
- Languishing
I am so glad to have a cooler house now, but overall the heat is getting to me. I started out for a walk around the Park this morning but had to come back after about a mile. The coolest temperatures in Sacramento are in the mornings, so if it's too...
