Filled three 80-lb salt bags to the brim with decaying leaf matter.  Yuck.  Then somehow Jared &#038; Jeni convinced me I looked fine afterward and needn&#8217;t change before going to supper?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, before leaving we started the 10,000 gallon reservoir filling, a process which Tim estimated at 24-36 hours.  Checking back at 8pm confirmed that it took in excess of 3 hours \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I stopped the PLC to prevent it from starting up at what it thought would be 7am, so that we wouldn&#8217;t burn out the pumps with too little water.  Then this afternoon I finally had a chance to remote in, set the clock, bypass the switch I accidentally left off down in the tunnel, and away we go!  Apparently, the PLC holds its clock stopped at 00:00 01\/01\/1988 until you program it for the first time.  Clever trick to make sure you don&#8217;t screw things up like I almost did: it held itself &#8220;in reset&#8221; waiting for the clock to be correctly programmed.  Very handy.  (I say &#8220;for the first time&#8221;, because we just installed our newly-repaired power supply module on Thursday, and the clock truly had never been run before!)<\/p>\n<p>Now on to spring break!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>True story: the fountain lives again.
