Status: offline 		LOL Quarterscale. I am thiiiiiis far away from getting TWO of those Oregon Scientific wireless weather stations. One for my house, and one for the field. I'm also trying to figure out a way to have the club officers get electrical power (or I could use a solar panel/battery supply) to run a PC to interface with the weather station. Also maybe a telephone line, to dial the ISP and post real-time weather data/webcam feed of the flightline, so we can see what the conditions are like from work, or see whos flyin while we are stuck working. Only downside to that, is I'd have to restrict access from my house so my wife couldnt see me at the field LOL.

I dont think it is ever going to quit raining here. My temporary hobby is riding around to look at the floods to see which road is covered the most...

Heck, we had to use 90 proof to keep us from freezing up!!!

Status: offline 		Heyyyyy, I do the yellow pages thing, have for as long as i could remember. It beats lookin in the yellow pages for the escort services when ya get into town, like some of the guys i used to work with..... I'd usually spend less money than they did, and get more "satisfaction" out of my "acquisitions", and notc ome home with somethin comet or ajax wouldnt wash off.........
