The pond is full.
It took 19 months, but 13 - 14 million guesstimated gallons (and then some) are present and accounted for. This last midwestern blast of precipitation and wild weather temps has taken us over the top (figuratively).

D-ski and I were scheduled to be in Florida this week, but the same lousy weather that completely cancelled all the possible flights outta Chicago was the same system that took us to the spillway. Ironic, eh? So, instead of hangin' around at Universal Studios in Orlando, we spent our Saturday at the pond delivery room. It's a bouncing, baby 5-ac'er.

Thanks to the entire forum and those key players that encouraged me to push the envelope, then pulled me back from the ledge just before I fell off. I think it all turned out pretty dang good.
