I'll be driving to Escondido again tomorrow morning. :sigh:

You should have come over - we're just two exits south on the 15 in Rancho Bernardo.

We actually had a nice evening. I've got all sorts of camping gear so we had dinner, played cards etc. My only worry was keeping the insulin stockpile cold but we seemed to manage that fine. Now I need to try and figure out how I'd do it should the power be off longer. Do they have battery operated mini fridges?

Apparently, they do.

Though it may be simpler (and cheaper) to get a regular mini fridge and a small generator. Or just a buy a 3K - 5K generator which would power your regular refrigerator and other essential items

Aren't there emergency cold packs that you snap and they get instantly cold? A stockpile of those might be more cost effective.

Great minds think alike - my aunt suggested that yesterday. Looking into those. May be the best way to go - if I used one at a time I could lengthen it out for quite a bit.

So. you can fit a piano into the back of a Volvo Wagon - I say this as a public service so no one has to conduct such an experiment again as there is a corollary that it is easier to put a piano into the back of a Volvo Wagon than to remove it.

And, in getting it out, we had 4 people. However, there were those stairs.......

But, getting it IN the Volvo with 2 people (one being me) was quite something and surprisingly doable.

Just think, next time you'll have to do it with a Mini.

See, with the Mini you just skip the though process altogether about even the possibility, and just hire someone else to do it - save time, less bruising.

As if Lisa needs to move a piano to get bruised.
