I have been making as much ice as I can including freezing plastic bowls of water and using a water jug with the top cut off to make a big block of ice. I only wish I had thought of the block ice idea a few days ago so I could have made several. I may be able to make one more based on the required freeze time. The next block, I may put a few cubes in it to help it along. This should save me from having to buy ice for a couple of days to starting out.
