I went on a road trip with Onondaga.
 |
| IBC: Intermediate, Bulk Container. 275 gallons |
We went to Bob's Gun Shop in Hastings. We poked around Middleville looking, unsuccessfully, for used, food-grade IBCs. Then to Grand Rapids to look at vehicles at a repo lot.
Then Onondaga wanted to eat at one of his favorite restaurants "just a little ways up M-37". The restaurant was in Clare, Michigan.
Then we drove back downstate.
Elapsed time: eight hours.
After that I had a couple of naps to catch up on.
But it sounds like a good day. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow come only 275 gallons, and what were the problems you encountered? I use these all the time in the oil patch, and I'm looking for a couple of food-grade clean 330gal units myself. But first, I need a set of forks for the tractor. You might check Craig's List if you haven't already. Can't imagine you can't find some, Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI did look on Craigslist. There were people in Middleville and Greenville selling them but neither person responded to my texts or emails.
ReplyDeleteWe did find a bunch of them for sale in Newaygo county for $85 but we were driving Onondaga's Toyota and his wife, Suzy, would have a fit if we scratch up her roof.
Don't know why they are 275 vs 330 gallons.
$85 is a pretty good price if they were in good shape and the valve was in high functional order (even for a smaller one). Even when empty, they are heavier than they look. Too bad Suzy's so tall. ( :) )
ReplyDeleteYou should have waved as you went up 37 as you drove right by the house. GR to Clair! Been there, done that. It's a nice drive on a sunny fall or spring day. :)
