Hick took Genius and Friend to see his SUS2 (Storage Unit Store 2) while they were here for Christmas. When they walked in, they commented that it smelled like beer! Further investigation revealed the reason for that. Some of Hick's collectible beer bottles had blown their tops!
"It got so cold in there that the tops popped off some of the bottles, and beer leaked out. A couple of them broke."
Hick didn't take time to clean everything right then. He was due to give a tour of Pony House, since it was just in the initial renovation stage last time Genius was here. Plus, he was picking up The Pony to bring out for Christmas Dinner. So the official cleanup had to wait a couple days, for warmer weather, and Hick's spare time.
Another calamity was revealed when Hick went to the SUS2 on Tuesday afternoon. Soda in his mini fridge had exploded. So there was even MORE cleanup.
Hopefully the below-zero temps with 35 mph winds will not revisit us this winter...
I always had to take the sodas out of the outdoor dispenser in the winter. Seemed like the diet sodas would always burst first!
ReplyDeleteWell, they ARE mostly water! The best thing about diet sodas is that they are not sticky when you have to clean up a spill.
DeleteI hope he wore gloves while cleaning the mess in case of broken glass. Such a shame to lose the collectible beer bottles though.
ReplyDeleteWe're talking about Hick, so you know all you can do is HOPE he wore gloves. Hick probably has more of those collectibles, since he would never sell his best items, and used to buy more than one of a kind when he found them. It will just cut down a little on his profits.
