OMG!! Texas weather sucks!!! LOL!!! I think Chris and I had a heyday with this stuff. Because I do not have a commercial address, I had to go pick up the drum in my horse trailer!! Well, that's where it stayed and where we poured from!! It was 95 degrees on Saturday and that wasn't with the heat index!! We did get a little help when I brought a fan and extension cords to the trailer!! We had Plan A with a pump that would pour out 1lb at a time!! Well, that would have been cool, but to get the stuff out it was only when you pulled the pump up and not when you pushed down!!!! Onto, Plan B, I had a siphon pump, but the opening was bigger than the bottle so we would spill more than we were putting in. Plan C, use the siphon pump and have a funnel in the bottle. This took 5 minutes a bottle to fill!!! LOL!!! We ended up going to plan E and finally went back to Plan D which seemed to work the best! It took us about 9 hours to get the bottles filled in the wonderful 100 degree weather!! I think this was our new way to lose weight!!! LOL!! My wonderful DH did help us by hooking the tractor up to the trailer and moving us under some trees so we were out of the sun. It was so hot Saturday that my daughter's turtle that we kept in a little wading pool died from the heat. It was fine all day, but near the end of the day I noticed it wasn't acting like it usually did. We buried him today and she's sad, but I'm sure we'll find another turtle and this time, we'll make sure he has lots of shade!! So now, the bottles are all in the house and I just need to label and box them up!! They should all be out by this week!! I think next time, we're doing this in the Winter!!! LOL!!!
