I have a couple of those old tubs. Once had a bull, that spent hours shoving one from one end of the pasture to the other and back again.

It's not a claw foot or anything worth salvaging. If I could find a few more of them cheap (like read free) I'd bring them home to make water troughs out of them too. I'm sure they'll last as long or longer than the galvanized stock tanks...

I do not like galv stock tanks either. They rust too quickly. I was lucky to get 2 years use out of the Behlen I bought.
The poly water tanks I use have held up for years, and they are easily, permanently and cheaply repairable should they develop a crack.

That was basically what I was looking at as well (rubbermaid). They seem pretty indestructible, sturdy, and won't rust. Still quite a bit more expensive than an old, used, free, steel bath tub though...

We hauled off two bath tubs when we renovated - Hindsight again.

So for those of you who have been following my journey and associated exploits, you may recall that I was issued a "careless driving" ticket for my black ice accident back the end of February. Well, I was advised to contact the clerk of courts and when I first did so in March I was told the ticket had not been registered with them yet, so to call back and ask for a waiver and advisement. I've been calling back ever since and the court date is tomorrow. The last time I called last week, I was told to call today, the day before the court date and I just got off the phone. The ticket still has not showed up in the system. I was informed by the clerk that I would not need to appear in court tomorrow and the case would be dismissed by the judge. Now, I don't know what happened and it might just be that the young trooper who wrote the ticket had second thoughts and never filed it, or he might have screwed up... either way, I didn't deserve that ticket and I'm thankful that I didn't just pay the fine. Sa-weet!
