I have noticed that, once I get the technical details of almost any subject lately, I "realize" that just about any action I take will result in dire consequences and such action should be avoided at all cost?
As an example, I have learned the following “facts” from the privileged few, with greater knowledge than I could ever hope to obtain;
Pulling your TD out of the garage exposes the surface to harmful UV rays, heat, cold, moisture, any number of things which will lead to oxidation of the protective skin or coating and cause rot, mildew and eventual disintegration of the structural components beneath. So for the sake of preservation I must never take my TD outside?
Allowing the TD tires to roll on the road surface causes dangerous tire wear. Perhaps I should load the TD on a trailer to prevent this needless destruction of an essential TD component.
Using the lights or fan causes the battery become less than fully charged. If I have shore power and an on board battery charger this is not a good situation, as the charging battery will release dangerous hydrogen gas and result in my TD going up in flames, like the Hindenburg.
Building a campfire will result in an uncontrollable forest fire ripping an unrepairable gash in the ozone layer and bring all life, as we know it, to a terrible end.
By the same token I suppose I should never remove a beer from the cooler. It should be obvious that the only way I can keep that beer cold is to leave it in the coolest environment I can find, for most of us that would be the cooler or refrigerator. When the uneducated remove said beer it immediately begins a warming cycle that spirals out of control until it ultimately reaches ambient temperature. There are those who would pull the tab on top of the can allowing harmful oxygen to enter and contaminate the drink, this quickly leads to deterioration resulting in what is known as a "flat" beer. If you find yourself with one of these cans in your hand the best you can do is consume the contents as quickly as possible to prevent further degradation, but this too leads to another phenomenon known as "empty" beer. And we all know what that leads to, the dreaded "beer run"....!!
So to really take care of that beer put it in the fridge or cooler, keep the door closed. Under no circumstances should you remove it from the controlled environment. You should never, ever allow oxygen to enter any of the cans. Otherwise your beer will suffer certain and untimely demise and you will have no choice but to burn valuable gasoline while making another beer run, exposing you and your passengers to the hazards of automobile travel and, yes even a greater likelihood of being abducted by aliens, who, as we all know, they prefer to concentrate their abductions on motorists (especially those on a beer run).
It just aint fair............
