We got up about 8. After pet stuff, breakfast, and some surfing I went outside to put up the new weather monitor. I brought it from the garage to the kitchen to unpack. There were several boxes. I gave the WiFi link to Ellen to set up. I took the rest outside to assemble.
I removed the old sensor and installed the base for the new one. When I removed the base the area underneath it wasn't painted. So I taped off the area and painted it with undercoat. Then I went looking for a compass. Apparently we don't have one.
I decided to kill two birds with one stone. We got in the car and drove to Home Depot to exchange the magnets I'd purchased for the trailer step with the ones we really need. Then we went next door to Academy to get a compass. We also stopped at Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get a small vacuum cleaner to use on the Traeger.
When we got home I used the compass to figure out where to point the new sensor. I decided to test it out on the ground before I put it up. It was good that I did. None of the outside measurements come up on the display. I moved the sensor indoors and they still didn't work. I tried a reset, a new channel, and several positions. Nothing worked. I wrote the manufacturer's support an email and gave up.
The rest of the evening was TV. Dinner was a frozen dinner.
Just before I went to bed I decided to try to use the old weather display. It worked. That tells me that the sensor is fine and the new display is fucked. We'll see what the manufacturer says.
