Once in awhile there is a late June thgunderstorm that drops a lot of water. Fine, but there isz no reason at that point that we can't go 0.5""-1.5" above full pond. When we go lake wide No Wake, it is much higher thanm that.
In sum, the mistake is in comparing levels to an old mean instead of to a current, new goal.

So your solution is to squeeze in another 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch at the full level. Ok. Maybe that’s possible I don’t know but even if is possible would that really make a difference today? I don’t think so. Any other ideas?
