Great weather

We have made the best blueberry milkshakes the last few days. There is a dairy up here called Northern Lights located out in Delta Junction, Ak. They make some vanilla ice cream that is truly delicious. Amazing stuff. We went out to Cleary Summit a few days ago and picked a bunch of blueberries. We need to get some more before they dry up. Alaskan blueberries are much smaller than the lower 48 variety that I have mostly seen, and much sweeter.
Hauled water tonight, got a bunch this time so we dont have to go back quite so soon. 4 x 7 gallon jugs and the regular 4 5 gallon jugs. We'll see how long this lasts. We have become very water conscious since we have been hauling it all and Im amazed at how much water I must have used in the past.
52 and a slight rain,
Justin

I used to use a 100 - 150 gallon plastic pick up bed tank to take water to the horses out in the dry pasture. If you could find one that hadn't been used for agri-chemicals that would be great - if you had a pump to get the water up to the 2nd floor.

Maybe a 55 gallon plastic drum would be a more appropriate size. I know you can get 'em cheap down here in the lower 48,
