June 15th

I got the new sensor for the weather station, so I put that up in the roof, and moved the old outdoor sensor to the front of the house so it'll be less likely to be interfered with.  Interestingly, the old sensor seems to read high.

We put together a storage doohickey, then lifted it down the side of the house (there isn't the space to put it together down there).  Yay - that thing seems to have been sitting on the patio for ever.

Vic went to some fundraising thing, so I went over to the airfield.  It was pretty crosswind-y (190 at 11mph, the runway's 150), but not very gusty, so I enjoyed it.  I'm still constantly checking the cylinder head temperature, but hopefully as I get more relaxed, I'll stop doing this.

On my cycle ride, I saw an RV towing an SUV with the license plate "IPUSHIN" :o)

We watched "From Paris With Love".  I think I prefer Travolta in his pre-steroid rage days.

June 12th

We picked Aidan up from the vet - he's had pneumonia, so he'll be on antibiotics for a while.

June 11th

We watched "Hansel and Gretel", which wasn't bad.  I'm starting to tire of the whole "surprise twist" thing, that you can see coming miles away.

June 10th

One of Vic's guinea pigs has been feeling sick, so she took him to the vet.  Of course they have to keep him overnight.

June 9th

It's been bloody windy here today, so I didn't do anything exciting.  I played with the cruise control on the van - I'm trying to make it smooth, but effective.

June 8th

The weather station's outdoor temperature probe has been playing up a lot, so I went up in the roof and got the one down from there and mounted that on the wall outside.  It was having problems sending too, so I figure it's an interference problem (I had problems with the anemometer when I propped up the solar power monitor behind the antenna on the base station).  I've put the smaller sensor that was in the roof by the front door for now while I decide what I can do about this... which'll probably happen when it's cooled down a bit.

If you look at the weather station data, you'll see that it hit 107F here today, so we ran a few errands, but mostly stayed inside out of the heat.  No cycling for me today.
