All told, I ended up with 3.6". Dumped exactly 2" Wednesday morning, then another 0.9" yesterday morning, and finally 0.7" last night. Forgot to check this AM, but I don't think it rained any more overnight.

Pond's exactly at the bottom of the overflow tube, but very little actually went out there. The emergency spilly seems a bit low to me, as its extremely soggy (walked out this AM) but nothing went over that. It MIGHT be 12" above normal pool. I guess that's OK, but I could always haul in some dirt and build it up a bit...plenty of clay on this old Iowa pasture.

I'll post pics in a bit!


In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times. My wife figures I'm due to die any day now...
