As I finished my boil, I noticed I had just under 6 gallons of wort in my kettle, I was thinking this is working out. So, I turn the chilling water on and relax with a beer, thinking since its been cool it wont take long for my wort to be cool enough, 20 min later I check temps and notice I now have almost 8 gallons of wort. My chiller leaked water from my garden hose into the boil kettle.
I figured I got nothing to lose at this point, 5.5 gallons went into my prepared fermenter, and the rest went into a hasty sanitized fermenerter, I then topped this off with water and dumped some blueberry flavoring in there too(..what the heck). Its always a good thing to have dry yeast on hand cause the second batch got the dry nottingham.
This was not really a wasted day, Unless I get little infection looking thingies in there. (I guess I could have put half a carboy of sanitizer in there to make sure that didnt happen.)
