sleep so just got up.&nbsp; It was an overcast morning, but I couldn\u2019t see it when I got up as it was DARK\u2026&nbsp; I had my oatmeal and <strong>set<\/strong> down to catch up a report that I have to do after <strong>one<\/strong> of those audits.&nbsp; I worked on that until about 10:30AM and got an email that the <strong>WX<\/strong> <strong>station<\/strong> was down.&nbsp; Ok, now what?&nbsp; We had had almost 2 inches of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>rain<\/strong> yesterday \u2013 first big <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>rain<\/strong> in a very long <strong>time<\/strong> \u2013 but the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>rain<\/strong> <strong>gauge<\/strong> had never given a <strong>problem<\/strong>.&nbsp; The problems had always been me messing up the software or the <strong>receiver<\/strong> so that it lost the memory of what had happened before or something.&nbsp; (note: did it again)<\/p>\n<p>When I went out I figured it was just a typical <strong>thing<\/strong> of loosing connection to <strong>one<\/strong> of the units or a battery <strong>issue<\/strong>.&nbsp; Sure enough it showed that it could not \u201ctalk\u201d to the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>rain<\/strong> <strong>gauge<\/strong>.&nbsp; The <strong>WX<\/strong> <strong>station<\/strong> I have up is <strong>one<\/strong> of those <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambientweather.com\/orscwmrepa.html\" target=\"_blank\">Oregon Scientific WMR-968<\/a>.&nbsp; I got this <strong>unit<\/strong> because it was not so expensive and allowed for extra remote sensors (I have 3 extra temp sensors on it to monitor the shop area and an extra outside temp for the deck).&nbsp; I had read a lot that this <strong>unit<\/strong> , in some instances, had problems of sensors going bonkers in 2 to 3 years and I was at that point but it was still strange, the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>rain<\/strong> <strong>gauge<\/strong> has never given a <strong>problem<\/strong> but maybe it had dead batteries.&nbsp; At first I figured to wait till afternoon to get on the <strong>roof<\/strong> of the barn.&nbsp; I would have to get it down for checking but thinking on it I figured I had <strong>time<\/strong> to check the batteries before leaving for lunch.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I knew I had to take the back off to get the cable off so I got out the screw driver for it and pulled the ladder out and away I went up on the <strong>roof<\/strong>.&nbsp; I hate getting up there anymore as the peak is about 20 ft. off the ground.<\/p>\n<p><a

the lower left.&nbsp; This is a pic after the job was done.<\/p>\n<p>I just do not like the steep north <strong>side<\/strong> of the <strong>roof<\/strong> too much but I can deal with it.&nbsp; I pulled the <strong>unit<\/strong> loose from the mount, unscrewed the <strong>umpteen zillion screws<\/strong> on the back and opened it up and <strong>water<\/strong> came out?&nbsp; Immediately I could see that <strong>water<\/strong> had <strong>set<\/strong> in the bottom and some battery corrosion was showing on the connector.&nbsp; I pulled out the batteries, as they were shot by now, and hauled it all down to the shop to get a better <strong>look<\/strong> at repairs or trash?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/sender1.jpg\"><img

weather <strong>seal<\/strong> around the back and the cable comes in from the bottom so I am not sure how it got so wet inside but it was plenty wet. <\/p>\n<p>So there was no <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>repair<\/strong> here, but fortunately I have a spare wx <strong>station<\/strong> I got on sale last year,&nbsp; so I pulled out the other <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>rain<\/strong> <strong>gauge<\/strong> and proceeded to get it <strong>set<\/strong> up.&nbsp; I got it showing on the <strong>receiver<\/strong> but had to leave for <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lunch<\/strong> before I got it put back up.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>After <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lunch<\/strong> I got back to the house and got it back on the <strong>roof<\/strong>.&nbsp; As I was making final moves to get it installed the guys showed up to re-evaluate my attic <strong>insulation<\/strong>.&nbsp; I have not been real happy with the blown in fiberglass I got and for good reason.&nbsp; I had not gotten up there except to <strong>look<\/strong> around the area from the closet when it was built.&nbsp; When they went up to <strong>look<\/strong>, I went to the top of the ladder and looked from the kitchen <strong>side<\/strong> and sure enough the coverage was very poor, spotty and not nearly 6 inches all over as I had ordered when they built.&nbsp; Now maybe some of that was settling over <strong>time<\/strong> so I will have to just <strong>figure<\/strong> it that way but the bat <strong>insulation<\/strong> on the vertical section around the living area was coming loose and that is not good.&nbsp; My intention is to get another 6 inches of ground up story-foam that will not settle and has very little dust as would the blown in cellulose.&nbsp; Supposedly this stuff even has a higher R value per inch so we will give it a try.&nbsp; In the process I have asked them to <strong>make<\/strong> repairs on the verticals and add what we can to <strong>seal<\/strong> up that portion as well and <strong>make<\/strong> sure we fill in all the area that is not filled in.&nbsp; They will also put another 6 inches on the shop attic.&nbsp; The price will not be too bad if they stay anywhere close to the estimate and I am sure it will pay out in just a few years if it gives a better <strong>seal<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Once all that was done I went back in the shop to put some tools&nbsp; away and re-<strong>look<\/strong> at the sender mess.&nbsp; Since I am partially deaf I had not noticed before, but there was a strange noise coming from the <strong>WX<\/strong> <strong>computer<\/strong>.&nbsp; Well that can\u2019t be good.&nbsp; I pulled it out and gave it a <strong>look<\/strong> and best I can <strong>figure<\/strong> it is either the power supply fan or the hard drive and I fully suspect it to be the hard drive that is about to crash.&nbsp; Just what I need is for another cat-ass-trophy to happen but looks like I have <strong>computer<\/strong> repairs in the future for later this week.&nbsp; Just seems when it is <strong>one<\/strong> <strong>thing<\/strong> it turns into more and with the dead battery in the car Friday night and now the <strong>WX<\/strong> <strong>station<\/strong> and the <strong>computer<\/strong> that will makes 3 so maybe I will be good to go for some <strong>time<\/strong>.&nbsp; You know the theory of threes?&nbsp; Sure wish I had gotten a Mega-Million lottery ticket today as it would have happened after the 3rd <strong>problem<\/strong>?&nbsp; right?<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, tomorrow I <strong>make<\/strong> a trip to Enid to see Dad and help out with some things there.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
