It's like the worst place for meds! My Dad used to keep them in the cabinet above the microwave...another bad idea. Keep them in a cool dry place that is not subject to temperature changes.JKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025369569723986182.post-54053670688227043692009-07-10T19:46:45.118-04:002009-07-10T19:46:45.118-04:00Old NFO, I got out of the habit of carrying a co...Old NFO, I got out of the habit of carrying a container capable of carrying a gallon/s of water when I had the new truck. Now that I'm driving an old clunker again, I guess I better get back in the habit.

I usually swap out 'vehicle' supplies every year. You know what temps they will see, and you know what you are doing. Is that enough?
