Saturday in the San Francisco Bay Area was very hot. Not record breaking, but a little warmer than average. I was about 20 miles inland, and the temperature was over 100* F, but the humidity was very low.
My daughter and several friends were in a horse show. I drove one truck & trailer, a friend drove the other. 8 horses. 2 younger kids, 4 teenagers, 2 Moms, and several horse show friends finished off 4 gallons of water, a gallon of iced tea, a gallon of apple juice and a box of Capri Sun, and they were also getting cups of ice water as the 20 lb of ice melted in the ice chest. (I think they drank about a gallon this way, too)
We spent most of the day between events walking the horses over to the tub of water, then refilling the tub.
On the way out we refilled 2 of the gallon jugs, and drank this in the trucks during the drive home.
The parking for the show was on a graveled surface, and we were not among the lucky few who got there in time to park under the few trees.
Today (Sunday) is almost record cold for this time of year. The clouds have moved in, and a cold breeze is blowing. I doubt it got much warmer than the lowest 70's (And that, only if you were out of the wind)
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.
Happy fish keeping!
