40C   Isn't that 104 in Louisiana?  I have a recipe for that.   ;-)

btw, I just got me a new Icey-Tek ice box with walls about two inches
thick.   Similar to the Yeti, but since I don't need the tie downs or rope
handles, I could save about a hundred bucks.  (Three of my Igloo boxes were
destroyed in the tree fall thing last summer.)   Lika ice box. ;-)
