Default workin' my way down to an empty freezer

Tonight I'm tossing together the last of my frozen meat - some ground pork, some last-legs mushrooms, end of the celery.....egg foo yong of a sort comin' up. Not much left in there - some frozen veggies and fruit. Gonna make up a lot of big ice blocks in case.......hurricane prep of a sort. If I lose power, at least I can keep the milk and dairy going for a day in the big Igloo.

Cleaning my fridge drawer by drawer, shelf by shelf. How DO crumbs and drips get under the bottom fridge drawer? It's not like I'm practicing my curve ball with grub into the fridge.

I empty my freezer also each August as September is the main hurricane
month. Just like you, I replace the frozen food with ice blocks...the
bigger the better. All that ice in the freezer will last you at least
3-4 days during a power outage. It won't keep frozen food frozen but
the freezer turns into a nifty insulated fridge.

You must live on the East Coast. I live by the ocean in Virginia.

I keep two half gallon milk containers of water in my freezer always.
The thing is an empty freezer warms a lot faster during a power
outage, so I leave it normally full. I don't have much like bread in
my freezer as that won't hold temperature, not much mass. Most of
what I freeze are blocks of stewps, no different from blocks of water
ice. We have power outages heer often, most of short duration, just
last week the power went out at 9:30 PM, fortunately it came back at
1:30 AM, but it could have been out for days too. The trick is during
a power outage do NOT open your fridge/freezer under any conditions.
Last time there was a four day outage here I didn't open the
freezer/fridge, when the power returned four days later everything was
frozen but the ice cream was soft but still cold... nothing spoiled.
And most items one keeps in their fridge don't require refrigeration
anyway... your eggs, butter, and cheese won't spoil, and certainly
your ketchup and mustard... even if you happen to have a full gallon
of milk, if you don't open the doors that milk won't spoil for a week,
not unless it was about to spoil anyway. Power outages are common
sense, once the power is out do NOT open your fridge/freezer no
matter what... if you need milk go out to buy some, or if smart you'd
have powdered or evap in your pantry at all times... I have both...
two of my cats love evap so I buy it by the case and I often use
powdered for baking/cooking.

Andrew and a few smaller 'canes survivor. Need I say more?

Those clear plastic shoe boxes make dandy sized blocks of ice. Fit real nice in my big and medium Igloos. It's also a good reason to inventory and eat down the food supply. I am not a believer in hoarding a ton of frozen food. You'd never catch me falling for one of those side of beef deals.

I also have a lot of clean gallon jugs for freezing water which'll help keep stuff cold too and supply some drinking water. I buy vinegar in those gallon jugs - the jugs are a lot sturdier than milk jugs.

You have my complete admiration! No meat deals in my freezer. Can
you come over and work on my freezer now? It seems like every time I
make a dent, I fill it right back up.

And they take a lot longer to repair. Most outages and general damage
due to storms is because of unpruned and non-removal of ancient
diseased trees. Here the highway department trims/removes trees along
the roadways but they can't touch those on private property. When I
moved here I had several large trees taken down that had they fallen
would would take down utility lines and cause damage to buildings.
I've since planted lots more trees but far enough away that once
mature they'd damage nothing if they fall. I can't understand the
stupidity of people who don't consider the mature size of those
saplings they plant up against their house. There are many lovely
trees that don't grow very large that can be safely planted next to
structures... and even those should planted far enough away that they
can be seen from windows yet not so close that they obstruct the view.
When I moved here there was a huge menacing Norway spruce in front of
every window that had they fallen would wreck the house, and all one
could see looking out was a solid wall of green, and year round as
they don't lose their leaves, in fact in winter mounded with snow they
would block the view even moreso.
Back of house, crew taking down trees, that clothes line pole went
too:
http://i60.tinypic.com/122k95z.jpg
A gorgeous tree but had to go, people around here call that air
conditioning, and nothing was preventing them planting it 100' from
the house:
http://i59.tinypic.com/vpi2px.jpg
Couldn't see much looking out in front either:
http://i60.tinypic.com/2vm7gah.jpg
A local tree removal company charged very little, took down seven huge
trees for $600... they took what firewood they wanted and hauled the
trash out into my woods. It costs a lot less to have trees removed
*before* it's an emergency. When work is slow they are happy for the
job, but once there's a storm and trees are down everywhere, crashed
through roofs and wrapped with electric line the price triples, plus
you need to wait your turn. These guys did a very good job, even
ground the stumps:

The prime time for hurricanes in Texas is August, September and October.
Our freezers are way too full, which is a mistake on our part. Time to
start cooking.

Nope:

http://www.entergy.com/2008_hurrican...ound-lines.pdf

Underground costs more to
install and maintain, resulting in
increased electric rates
• Several studies have shown
that installing lines underground
is expensive for customers and
taxpayers, costing 10 times more
than overhead distribution or
transmission lines.
• Underground lines are much
more difficult and expensive
to work on when problems
arise. They require earth-moving equipment and
specialized technicians.

> require much less maintenance,


Not always:

http://www.entergy.com/2008_hurrican...ound-lines.pdf

Underground lines are not necessarily more
reliable than overhead lines
• Typically, underground lines experience fewer
outages. But when outages involving underground
lines do happen, they typically last longer because
underground lines are more difficult than overhead
lines to troubleshoot and repair.

And plenty get killed cutting into underground when trenching.

Yes they do.

http://thevillagenews.com/story/35983/

"To locate a failure of the underground cable is a lot more
challenging," Chau said.

The mean repair time, however, is nine hours for overhead and 21 days
for underground.

Railroad crossing issues led to an average cost of $12.5 million per
mile and a range of $12.4 to $12.6 million for the 34 miles of 345 kV
underground lines, and the one underground mile of the 115 kV line which
ran through a residential neighborhood cost $6.5 million.

Underground costs included railroad and bridge crossing issues, utility
conflicts, soil and water handling, business disruption, and the night
work limitations.

Approximately 2,000 gas, water, electric, and other utility conflicts
complicated the construction.

A lie.

http://lhspresspass.com/1245/feature...d-power-lines/


The frequency of outages of underground systems was 50% less than for
overhead systems, but the average duration of an underground outage was
58% longer due to the longer time to fix an underground system.
Reliability is another issue, Maryland utility found that customers
served by 40-year-old overhead lines had better reliability than those
served by 20-year-old underground lines.
The cost of an underground system is also greater than the cost of an
overhead system. The cost to place new transmission lines underground is
about 8 to 10 times the cost to build overhead lines. The cost to build
underground distribution lines is typically four to six times the cost
of overhead distribution lines.

> Only a moron like you would
> think otherwise.


Or utilities.

http://thevillagenews.com/story/35983/

The cost for the 3.12 miles of overhead lines averaged $3.8 million per
mile, which included replacing a 60 kV tower line. Although that work
was within an existing easement, 24 towers were replaced.

The major variables for the overhead work included terrain, access
roads, construction hours, removal of the 60 kV lines, and the
construction sequence.

The underground costs for the five segments averaged between $5.4
million and $6.8 million per mile. Variables included easement costs,
traffic, and environmental and restoration expenses.

Time to learn where the nearest source for dry ice is located... check
your Yellow Pages, probably an ice house closer than you thought.
I don't concern myself as most long term outages occur here during
winter, when typically the outdoor temperatures are colder than my
freezer.

Where we live, the utility company has an easement, they trim trees and
cut down dead and damaged trees that could damage the lines, whether it
is on private property or not. While mowing my neighbor's yard, I
noticed two dead trees that were laying against the power line, so I
called the utility company, this was on a Saturday. They came out that
afternoon and removed the trees. Well, they cut the trees into a few
pieces and left them there. We will haul them off, these are two elderly
ladies.

We bought this house 2 1/2 years ago and we have lost power twice, that
I can recall. We have a generator that needs work, we should have had
that repaired before hurricane season arrived.

There are utility easements here too but most wires run along
roadways. There are two poles on my property that belong to me
(secondary due to run length), the utility companys maintain their
wires and keep the wires clear but if the pole needs replacement
that's on me. Like many people here I can't have underground
utilities because there's a creek between the road utilities and my
house, they can't run utilities under the creek... there are many
similar properties here that parts are classified as Federal wetlands,
the property across the road exactly the same, we share the same
creek, it runs through a large culvert (8' diam) under the roadway...
thousands of properties share that creek. Years ago before the
culvert there was a wooden bridge... were no utility companys then...
that creek supplied water power, were several mills all along that
creek. I think there is still one seasonal mill operating about ten
miles from here along Redmill Road. Before the advent of electricity
there were mills along every waterway that used water power to operate
all kinds of machinery, from saw mills to making tool handles, clothes
pins, buttons, thread spools, etc. Most of these relatively small
creeks were seasonal, water flows all year but at times it's a mere
trickle. Wasn't all that long ago there were no utility bills, but in
many ways life was a lot tougher. I enjoy my creek, mostly because of
the gorgeous native plants and lots of critters drink and hunt there,
lots of water fowl hunting fish, frogs, insects. Of course deer,
coyote, raccoons, even mice drink there, black bear too. Most
critters are nocternal... but when I arise before dawn I can usually
view the activity by moon light.

Does that actually mean killfiled by Sqwertz?
That's pretty damn cool, imo.
Not many achieve that status here. :-D
Steve always needs to *win*. When he doesn't he resorts to name

his killfile now that means he really lost. lololol
