    Here's my new coolerador.
    Our house never gets below 75 in the winter and 78 in the summer. I haven't really worried about it up till now. But, I'm accumulating a pretty good collection and was worried about the elevated temperatures.
    I picked up the 70 qt. cooler at Walmart for $40. I used my driver reward points for a soft sided plug-into-your-cigarette-lighter cooler from the truck stop. My son and I took the cooling unit out of the soft cooler, cut out spot for it in the lid of the big cooler, and added a fan to the inside. My son had a temperature control that we plugged the cooling unit into. Added 1 1/2 lbs. of Heartfelt beads in two bags and filled it with boxes. It's working like a charm.

    He went to an engineering school, so nothing gets built on a simple scale. I should get something from it. It cost 130 large to send him to school, AND he was smoking Padron Anniversaries in college on my dime. That last thing is what might qualify him as a genius!

    130 grand wow. I am a father of twin girls (3 years old) at 26, I guess I should start saving up :). But honestly I dont know you from a hole in a wall, But your son is blessed to have a dad like you, you have no clue how many kids I teach who come fron single homes, dad is in jail/ or left mom. I have a lot of respect for men like you and padrons? Can I come over haha
