Ok... so you know I have to really be getting bored and punchy from two years of COVID to post something like this...
Part of my Armageddon, apocalypse prepper plan includes a healthy stash of vino....and believe it or not I actually really like the Kirkland Cab box wine. Comes in a 3LTR box and is really not bad... You should try it.. Has a dry, oakey finish without a lot of tannins and I'd say its a step up from 2 Buck Chuck (which is now $3 bucks).
After finishing a box a few days ago I decided to open up the box to check out the bladder and delivery valve system. Quite a robust system. Once emptied, you can hold the valve open and refill it with any liquid you want....or inflate it. By adding a few drops of bleach to the water, you can shake it up to basically sterilize it and then rinse the insides well to remove any of the chlorine.
So then I was curious as to how tough this thing was so I fully inflated it, placed it on the floor and while steadying myself with the counter stood on it with both feet and all of my weight to see if I could pop it. (I weigh 250lbs). I expected a nice big "pop" but it didn't affect it at all. Then I left it inflated for 2 days and it has not leaked one bit of pressure. Then I deflated it and rolled it up to a compact size and secured with a rubber band..
Now I don't have any idea of where all this is going but I'm going to keep a few of these on the boat and in my truck..... and also I now keep a couple of these in my BC pockets..... mainly just because I had some extra room and.....who knows!
Ans yes..... I am bored....and maybe a little nuts. Just thought this post might provide a little "lightness" during all this "heaviness".
