I won't finish tonight.

I did get most of the liquid out.  And it's really not too bad.  The siphon I purchased isn't exactly the best.  With a bit of care it seems to work well enough though.  I should be able to finish draining the freezer "tomorrow", perhaps cleaning it out as well, then getting it back to a frozen state, so as to add ice again.  I will examine the method for possibly adding a meaningful, if not absolute, failsafe to the system.  I won't discuss it.  Let it be a surprise to anyone who messes with it.  Oh, it's legal.  And more.  *wink*  Urhm, if I can figure out how to implement it.

I am extremely tired though.  I'll get the last batch of siphoned fluid down the drain, then rinse the buckets/containers, and put a bit of cleaning fluid into the toilet.  That stuff might well stain if not.  Then on to bed.  Good night.
