Menard's sells a white food grade bucket and a screw on lid.

But beans and rice require a lot of water to cook, so keep that in mind also.

We have roughly 250 gallons of water on hand that gets rotated thru and i have a tendency to buy 4 cases of water for every 2 we use.
Guess you'll never really know how much you'll need till the time arises, but i know im good on food. The water would be rationed to make sure the supply would last
I imagine if it were to go longer than 30 days, its gonna be an ugly time where it becomes necessary to do whatever it takes to help you and your family survive

I was just at Stracks and they have Ice Mountain cases of 24 0.5L bottles for $2.99. I know you can get the cheap water for that price any time, but if anyone cares that it's Ice Mountain, it's a good deal.

We have good municipal water, so I just refill gallons when we empty them.

My daughter buys water, but aside from paying my water bill I refuse.

We also have personal water Purification devices.

 

[Snapdragon]

Yeah, we don't use a lot of bottled water. Our tap water is fine. Mom gets a free beverage at the hospital cafeteria when she volunteers, and she sometimes brings home the 1L bottles of Ice Mountain. I finally dumped some that was ~10 years old.

Right next to the outhouse.

​There I was, afraid it wasn't going to rain today.

While I've seen planting later, better make adjustments personally. **Awful Ag Info** The Crop Progress Report is something that comes from the US Department of Agriculture each week. They have been reporting this information for all crops in this format since 1991. Obviously the wet weather the past month has caused problems for all of us at times, but it's especially bad for the farmers right now. The crops are WAY behind schedule. And 2019 is the WORST of the past 30 years. Illinois and Ohio are right there with us. You can see that only 6% of the corn crop has been planted in Indiana so far. Last year we had 69% planted, and the average year is 57% by now. REALLY sad news... While I'm not optimistic that it gets better soon, I am hopeful that we can still salvage some of the crops this season... :

Monday morning and back to the salt mine. Gray and chilly out there. Last week at work a couple of the summer help kids worked outside in shorts in the cold and told them to bring a sweatshirt and long pants in their car.

Well, pretty much finished moving this weekend. Weather certainly didn't help too much. Got a lot of use of my tarp though. Stayed in the new place last few nights. Plus side, I'm even closer to most of the ranges, lol, now just to win the lottery so I can go shooting again.

It would be cheaper if you didn't take 1000 guns with you

I'm just glad he did it when I was on a doubleshift.

As much as I hate moving, I'd rather have moved. Granted a double certainly helped the wallet I'm sure

And when does school start back again? Heard it was an early start date this fall. Have two daughters who work at the Early learning Center and the Principals dad was my first Fire Chief so the kids all knew each other.
