Sankie is either unwilling or unable to cooperate, or both, so I suspect Barbara and Frances will have to move her over to the Homestead Hills facility sooner rather than later. They&#8217;re doing everything they can to keep her at Creekside, but they can&#8217;t do that if Sankie remains unwilling to do her part.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000099; font-family: Arial;\">11:56 &#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> I&#8217;m going to have to figure out what to do about mixing containers. The largest bottles we use in most of our kits hold 30 mL, which means a 2-liter batch is sufficient to fill 60+ bottles. Our international kits and some of our forthcoming kits will use several 100 mL bottles, which means I need a 6-liter batch to fill 60 bottles. In the past, I&#8217;d simply make up three 2-liter batches, but that&#8217;s a lot of extra work. So I think this time I&#8217;m going to make up 6-liter batches in 5-gallon (20 liter) polypropylene buckets from Home Depot.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>07:42 &#8211; I managed to get five kits shipped yesterday.
