I like your tagline. Few degrees cooler here but the same otherwise. I just worked on my water trailer and did it in the shade. Not half bad with the breeze. Gonna put a lighter colored shirt and hat on and head down the road on the tractor to fill the tank.

Did not get one of the IBC tanks set up on the trailer but I did clean the old tank for now and while I had it off, I set an IBC tank on the trailer, strapped it down and parked on the steepest spot of the hill I have to drive up with the tank full. Judging by the angle of the dangle, I think it will work.

Need some camlock to male NPT fittings for the IBC tanks outlets. Then some other fittings to add to that for hose spigot(s). Then I noticed the other IBC tanks, minus frames, that I got for free a while back have a cool lid on top that will accept a 2 inch male pipe thread fitting. Stole those for the new tanks and I’m going to get 90 degree elbows plus 1 1/4” barbed fittings that will screw into the lid for filling.

Need two plumbing setups for now but will need more later.

And no, you cannot fill a frame-less IBC tank. Kind of figured it would distort and it did.

Don't like the weather? Wait a minute.

Just enough time to go fill the water tank and put some things away before the yellow warning bordered storm reaches us.

Given all the bother in shipping extra water to your place I hope your job will eventually allow you to get a well drilled! You never know how long the tractor or truck will keep running!

You and Augie are just about straight east of me. I think you are a bit to the SE and nearer St. Louis.
