Status: We went grocery shopping this morning and we have about 30 days of food on hand thanks to having the portable freezer I bought a couple weeks ago. We’ve run it continually with several loaves of bread and bags of ice cubes before we moved any real food into it yesterday. It is set to -8 F degrees, the thermostat will rise to about -2 before the compressor kicks in. (Still a safe frozen temp.) I don’t ever remember having this much food in the refrigerator/freezer, like ever. It is a little scary to have a new appliance responsible for two weeks worth of food. But, i have to admit that it has been solid since plugging it in. The only anomaly with this refrigerator is the power factor .65 is HORRIBLE. I probably can improve that by running a better power supply. I need to power it on DC and capture the surge current, then i’ll know. Testing this while I am dependent on it may not be a good plan though!
Plans: Work about 4 hours and do some long term planning. The virus is still getting worse and closer to us. According to the news the infections should peak about Easter (2 weeks).
Narrative: The trip to the store was made a day early since it is supposed to rain tomorrow. Everything went well, the produce section was stocked. The meat section was ok, but the frozen vegetables were very scarce. Dairy was in good shape, plenty of eggs and milk. We even got a nice package of toilet paper today! The bill was a little over $300.00, but we were buying two weeks worth. (Eat One/Freeze One)
We called the doctor’s office and cancelled our two appointments for tomorrow. (We’ve got enough medicine to last another 30 days, hopefully this will cool down a little and the office will not be as much of a risk.)
Stir Fry and a large salad for dinner. It used up a half a package of chicken and a frozen package of stir fry vegetables.
Amazon has delivered something to our door almost every day since I got back home. We are still shelving boxes and mail for one day to allow any contamination by the shipper to dissipate a little. The inside of the packages should be fairly safe and the inside of the product package is assumed safe.
Tomorrow: Tuesday, another working day, supposed to rain.
