hi all. this morning i went for a dig in my chest freezer looking for some of last seasons banana prawns for bait tonight. felt like someone smacked me in the face when i opened the lid. holy crap - some dill (probably me) turned off the freezer at the power point. when??? no freakin idea. lets just say long enough for those pressure packed snags to take on a somewhat cylindrical shape rather than the usual rectangular. there was a good 8 inches of water and blood in the bottom and in less than a minute i was invaded big time by a huge cloud of blowies. i had plenty of meat and a whole leg of pork and a leg of ham in there along with about 20 tubs of that logicol marge (gotta watch that cholesterol), prawns, fish, crab soup, vege packs etc. any sleepiness i had was gone immediately! what a crapper of an event to wake up to. anyway, figured it was time for another dump run so packed the back of the mav with as much crap that i could get in there leaving space for the 2 rubbish bins full of stink (double wrapped in bags). chucked them in the back along with a small cloud of blowies and headed off on what was my longest 5 km drive ever. opened both front windows for a little air flow but nonetheless found it difficult not to gag the whole way. caught the only red light on the way and tried hard not to speed. pulled up at the dump and got caught waiting behind a truck (no air flow now), asked the dump bloke where they wanted rotten meat and he replied: "the fullest skip you can find mate". he was really happy to get me on my way quick. chucked out the whole lot including the rubbish bins. got home (car still stinks, shed still stinks, freezer hosed out on back lawn still stinks), missus kicks me out cause i stink too. showered and washed my hands i dont know how many times and they still stink.
still , wasn't as bad as when my other freezer died a few months back. i had only just made up about 15 kilo of berley 2 weeks earlier. that stunk out the shed something fierce for 3 weeks.
luv them plastics
