Tanks full for now

Concrete tank

After watering this morning I topped off the leaky stucco tank with water from the dirt tank. So tanks are full... for now. The stucco tank will lose 3 inches per day. Next time I'm back there it'll be down a foot. So sad, but my son is determined to coat the tank with an elastomeric sealer next time it's empty. This situation isn't acceptable. I just hope I have enough water to make it through until next rainy season.

The Big Bend region is tough when you're outside of towns. I watered in the 110° heat, got bit in the night by an Assassin Bug (aka Kissing Bug), and hurt my knee in a careless fall. All in the past 24 hours. Not for the faint-hearted.
