billeylerWas a lovely day here for most of the day...I even took a daytime dip in the pool, enjoying the water and the heat of the sun. Noodled around with small projects during the day, starting to put the weather station together. Danny put together the new wall cabinet for the downstairs bathroom (so we can finally call that bathroom reno project DONE).
Just as I put the rain measuring bit out on the porch to test it, the heavens opened up and we got this ENORMOUS deluge of rain*. In fact we received as much rain in an hour (per the new electronic gauge) as we've received in precip the entire year! 1.1 inches (so far)
I was able to cross check this with my old rain tube, which had nearly an inch of water in it. Finally, the Tstorms abated and we could head out to our Chinese buffet for dinner about 7.
Now all I have to do is mount the wind gauge and the rain gauge somewhere permanent and I'm ready to go! Turned off the drip system for the first time this year!
* I'm sending good thoughts todukecityjim who has been having serious roof leaks since his new HVAC system was put in earlier this year.
