Managed to get the weather sensor back up and running. Working good now with a few minor calibrations needed on our part. Should be in complete form later on this morning.  Ended up after all said and done, with shipping it back we got a newer version of our sensor plus a donation on their part of a 150 foot cable installed directly to the sensor by the manufacturer along with being calibrated.  So all in all was worth the effort in sending it back.  The folks we purchased it from in Oregon USA; MET ONE were very helpful and great folks to deal with. They bent over backwards in getting us fixed up and back on the air.  I have always said a good product is fine, but the service one gets after the fact, is just as important if not more.  This sensor we have is not made off shore neither, it is made right in the USA.  Can’t beat that.  Any of the graphs can be clicked on which in turn will open a really detailed graph.  Just one more added feature that Karl put together for us here at the LSB.  At the top is the forecast for the day which changes as weather data changes.  The Link For The Weather Station: Is On The Front Page Of The Local Service’s Boards Web Site.  http://www.loringlsb.com/

Not to much to report around town. I did make a trip to North Bay on the weekend to visit my son Karl.  He has been feeling poorly these past few weeks, but slowly coming around with the help of a good doctor friend of mine.  At any rate there is no shortage of cars moving around North Bay, or folks not spending money, as every store that I went into we had to wait at the checkouts.  Grocery and Wall-mart the most busiest, coming in second was the gas stations. Should mention that gas is a heck of a price these days coming in at $1.30 a liter.  What should be up there on them signs is the real price.  Should read: $5.20 a Gallon and a gallon doesn’t go very far.  This metric in my eyes was brought on to us for only one thing.  To fool folks into believing things aren’t really that expensive.  Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.  Some call it progress, that’s a laugh. I call it tactics to fool the human race.  And they are good at it too. My opinion only, of course.  Enjoy your day my friends.
