BTW How does an EAGLE SCOUT leave a cooler out unattended and unsecured for a critter attack. Had it been Tiggerdad's posse I could understand them circumventing security measures
but a racoon
Oh he didn't get anything.
That's my ol' plugin cooler and it has a pretty stiff <click> when the lid opens and closes. It requires a good bit of force to open so Rocky Raccoon was unsuccessful.
BTW I got home today after a "fun" drive home. To recap, we drove down Saturday staying offsite, went to MK Sunday (hence the pix I posted in this thread) . We took my daughter down to move into Disney housing for the Disney College Program during the spring semester. Monday she drove along the various routes from her apartment complex to her work location (I rode shotgun coaching and DW was in back) and showed her the nearest Publix, Walmart, Target, etc. Then we met her roommates and parents for dinner Monday night at Disney Springs.
Tuesday was move-in day to the Disney apartment with a long morning run to Target for various items for me. The afternoon was nap time (needed) and dinner that night was a quiet romantic dinner for me and DW.
Today we drove home in 10 hours (a little longer than normal) avoiding the ice, slush, snow, and black ice as best as possible. It was fine up I75 to Lake City but we hit the storm/rain front between Lake City and Tallahassee. Dothan was fine gassing up but between there and Montgomery was the worst road conditions (at 1-2pm in the afternoon). Iced bridges and overpasses (usually one lane had two tread lanes cleared down to the pavement) were bad but otherwise shade/ice on highway was only other problem and that was intermittent.
It turned out the interstates and major divided highways were the most wide open which meant lots of sunshine could hit the pavement and we could get traction. So we went a little out of the way to get home by following the major roads. I did attempt a direct, 2-lane highway which proved to be a bad decision but was able to turn around and get back to the highway and resume that route.
After that drive today (and my house was still warm with the dripping faucets we left behind), the Cabernet is flowing tonight

Snowmedic, wish we had time to come by and see you but duty called. But your posts are great - keep up the good work.
