    It would sure be nice to get a couple of more drenching storms to blow through here the next couple of days. We are so in debt though, even that probably won’t make a significant difference.

    Water level spiked up from 686.80 to 687.20 right after the storm. It settled down around 687.00. ON the lower MN.

    Forcast is calling for some more storms over the next day or two. If we can get a couple heavy rains in a row we’ll see a little more increase.

    Thanks for the heads up Nightfisher. That ought to perk things up a bit. Good thing I don’t have to install any Satellite systems today

    One of those days to get the inside stuff done.
