Day 3730

 I woke up about 7, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  Installing the weather station was the priority today since I wanted it to measure the big storm that was supposed to show up tonight.

I went to the garage to get the ladder and some tools.  It was the first of at least 6 round trips I made before the install was complete.  I just kept needing stuff from the garage.  Eventually I logged 5,000 steps by the time it was done.  I got the ladder set up and tried to unscrew the sensor mounting pole.  It was rusted solid.  I immediately determined that Ellen would have to help.  I needed to stand on the top rung of the ladder to remove the old sensor and I needed her to hold the ladder.

I got the old sensor down and hooked up the new one.  It wouldn't talk to the display.  We spent a long time messing with batteries and settings.  Eventually we got it to work on the ground.  Then I took it onto the work and it quit.  After some more screwing around we got it to work on the roof.  Then I installed it and it quit again.  I took it down and we messed with it some more.  On the second install it finally worked. 

I finally got to put everything away (two garage trips) and have lunch.  Abby won't run around the property if I'm working in the garage.  I was tired, but I walked around for an mile so she would run.  I had to walk a different path because parts of the normal one were a little muddy. 

 After the walk I got in a short work session on the trailer.  I mounted the winch and figured out where the box was going to go.  I drilled the mounting holes, but didn't mount it.  I need some shims and it was getting late and I was tired.

I went back to the house, fed the pets, and watched videos until dinner.  After dinner was videos until I got bored and switched to surfing.
