A day in the life in the North

Where did you mount the sensor suite? Does it transmit data to weatherunderground app? I love that weather app because I have like 10–20 stations reporting in like a 1/4 mile from my house.

The sensor station is mounted on my car park roof clear of all obstructions. It works really nice. I have the factory app linked to my phone so I can see what's happening at our place anytime. One thing to consider when you install one is that at some point you have to clean the rain gauge and change the batteries in the sensor. Why I mounted 3 feet up off car park roof. Easy access and clear line of site.

[Stumpy]

that looks cracking, how much if you don't mind me asking

Was 4150 bht off Lazada. Includes complete sensor set up, digital display up to 100 meters connectivity and app to your phone. You can also set up alarms and the installation manual is English.

Yeah. Its a pretty nice set up. More for fun but I do like having the indoor/outdoor display at my work desk.

Why would you need a weather station in Thailand?

Gonna be another hot one tomorrow, darlin.

[malmomike77]

Why would you need a weather station in Thailand?

To work out what mood my Mrs is in

[Stumpy]

To work out what mood my Mrs is in

Both are correct. HAHAHAHA

That said, I find that the weather updates are shit and never even close to my specific area. They say Rain and its blue skies. They say wind and its calm as hell. So now I have this indoor outdoor so I can see reality in my area.

Speaking of that, Had 2 days of a nice cool down and steady rain. Nice break and cleaned out the area of the haze. In Lampang city was 175PPM. Out where I live was hovering in the 80 to 90. Today 18







Woke up this morning to beautiful blue skies and a nice wet ground. A day off of watering.





Little Maggie and her sisters continue to settle in and have fun










Today was fab'ing up the tubing mount for the weather station. Had to make a set of heavy jaw clamps to squash the SST tubing. I hate drilling SST, to fast the material work hardens and you toss drill bits, to slow and you cut no material



Of course had to take a beer break along the way.

You certainly don't fuck around Stumpy. Your living the dream mate. I'm guessing you put as much enthusiasm into your job as you do your personal life, and it's paid of in spades. We all want to be happy and by golly it certainly looks like yer grinning. I take my take my hat of to you sir.

[Stumpy]

Thanks and Cheers BLD. Just enjoying life as I can. It's a one way ticket so best to have some fun while one can.

Is that beer any good?

[Stumpy]

Is that beer any good?

It's pretty good. I have been trying a few of the Full Moon craft beers. The Hazy IPA is outstanding. I haven't tried their other IPA yet. The Dark Ale is enjoyable

[cyrille]

I was looking at a few 'full moon' brews yesterday - before buying a bunch of those 79 baht Stellas.

[Stumpy]

Stella's work. Haven't had one in awhile now. The Full Moon beers are more expensive. The Full Moon Hazy IPA is 139 bht for a 330ml up here and not easily found. The Leffe blond is a nice alternative.

[Stumpy]

Nice Friday. lets kick off the NFL season and nothing better then seeing the KC Chiefs take a dive.....



21- 20 Detroit



I finished up grilling all the Sai Ua. wife made up a coconut juice and chili mix to steam them to give them some additional flavor





Finished up an early lawn mow, been raining quite a bit and anything green, grows extremely fast



Ahhhhhh... a well deserved IPA




A mountain bike ride after lunch to check on the Wang river....looks like they are doing some annual dredging to keep it free of debris.

[spliff]

Too much water hyacinth.

[Stumpy]

Too much water hyacinth.

Yeah this time of year it grows out of control. We haven't had a big storm yet to push it all out and down to the Ping. It's coming.

[cyrille]

Got cut down trees that need moving from our bank here.

It better get tumultuous.

Great pics again, JP.

How's that beer? Seen it around a lot.

That IPA is pretty good. Nice citrus base. Goes great with some spicy Thai food.

They are cleaning up sections of the Wang by our place. I believe it's because there is a bridge and a spillway and they do not want it to get jammed up. They seem to do this around same time every year.

Weather has been stellar. Warm but OK. Huge white clouds and random rain at night.

[Stumpy]

Its loading up for what looks like a big night of rain, but for now nice cloud formations.

[cyrille]

Yeah, getting great puffs of cloud here too, but with blue predominating.

Gotta make the most of it these days, and rain is the least of our worries.

[Stumpy]

Day winding down as I look out across the back forty.

Every where up here is lush green currently Mike. It's quite beautiful. I love this time of year. I will say, the "lawn mower" is working OT...

Mate, if you like I can sub-contract the gardener... he will soon put an end that?

Thanks Mendy for the offer. I think he uses that Steel blade on the weed whacker to tear it up to the dirt then spray Ya Dong on it
