AG: Storing bottles

wrote: Good Lord! I wash my bike bottles as soon as I finish the ride. I keep mine in a refrigerator. The garage is heated only by leakage from the furnace/water-heater closet (which isn't particularly warm), and by having two walls in common with the house. I keep my "root cellar" (a paper lunch bag containing a quart-size paper-mache' berry box of onion sets) against the back wall of a cupboard hanging on an inside wall to be sure it doesn't freeze. I'll be taking the bottle out of storage sooner than expected. On Tuesday's ride, I warmed the bottles in the humidifier pot and put my Sheriff Goshert bottle in the insulated pannier, and it was still hot when I took it out, experiment a success. In an excess of caution, I wrapped the bottle in a plastic grocery bag first, and it's lucky that I did: the sack had a puddle of water in it when I took the bottle out. So after I got home, I tossed it into the recycling bin. The bottle, that is. I tossed the sack when I passed Owen's. Together with a lot of the sacks I'd used to cushion the lamp I left at the recycle depot, since I'd hit two stores on the way to the depot, and ate half of a foot-long submarine on the way back, and pannier space was getting a bit tight. Sheriff Goshert stepped aside for Sheriff Dukes about the same time. It was a few campaigns back that I picked up the bottle at a garage sale, so it's done its duty. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
