After spending a week in the Disney World Resorts near Orlando in early December, my wife asked me if I was going to buy something in the park to take home.  I'm not too big on buying stuff at theme parks, but towards the end of our stay I saw the Mickey Rain Gauge.  I had always wanted a rain gauge to see how much rain actually falls at our home in Monterey near Laguna Seca.  After sitting on his butt for the past 6 weeks Mickey finally got to show me his stuff the past two days.  Thursday night Mickey gathered about 1/4" of rain for the day.  Not a huge amount by most rainfall standards.  But on Friday night Mickey gathered 1.25" inches of rain.  He is certainly proving he has the ability to learn and improve his catchment techniques 8^).  Since my rain catchment system is 500 square feet of roof space my rainwater harvesting tanks have captured approximately 420 gallons of water in the past two days.  And the good news is Mickey is back at work today collecting more!  Nice job Mickey!
