(post power outage, where we were periodically cooling off the fridge with backup power) "There's some lunch meat in the fridge." Me: "I dunno" "Open it up and smell it" Me: "Hmm...." (30 seconds later) RETCH, RETCH, BILE, RETCH... runs outside to dump it in the yard can for composting. (Note: need to run the fridge more than once every 12 hours. The freezer was fine -- ice cream didn't even get soft--but the fridge got too warm).

In response to this post Off topic, Camp Josepho was where my son had his first Scout overnight outing, as a Webelos joining our local scout troop. 🙏 (Lesson there: DO NOT let the kids eat the partially frozen hamburger that they were unable to thaw out properly... there was a lot of vomiting.)
LA Copter 19 was dispatched to the scene, there was no word on the VNC copter launching to Palisades (has not left Camarlilo yet). 1/11/25 0639 #PalisadesFire
by AI6YR Ben ; @ai6yr oh God one of my scoutmastering rules became "only precooked meat at camp" for similar reasons
by Sara ; @ai6yr The adult leaders chose to dine with us for some reason. (Oof. Sad to lose the camp.)

@ai6yr I use the 1:4 rule. 1 hour of run time every 4 hours of off time. Works well in the South Texas summer heat.

@ai6yr Ugh.
Eggs, hard cheeses, yogurt and many condiments are probably fine. I'd be very suspicious of anything else.

@ai6yr I use a remote fridge temp sensor with display & alarm 24/7/365. They’re pretty cheap, and it was hugely helpful during the 3+ day outage I had back in November.
I moved critical stuff into a 12v cooler running on a portable power station, and was mostly monitoring the elderly upright freezer downstairs. For that, a few hours per day on a tiny propane generator was enough to keep that in the safe range (some ice crystals noticed post-outage, but it never went above 25°).
