Weather Station running

Well, the data logger and software for the weather station finally arrived and we are up and running.

Here is a screen capture of the local info and you can see our weather station info in real time here at Weather Underground or here at CWOP.

It is a nice fall day and we are enjoying a fire and some fried green tomatoes with Katjap Manis

O'Brien Whistle Set

An Upgrade (!) from the Walton tin whistle. These are absolutely beautiful both in sound and appearance

Here is a shot of the whistle on the nice supplied roll-up case.

First Sail

It took a few days for any wind (at all) to arrive but Cath finally got out for the first sail.

Hobie Getaway

The new boat was just delivered yesterday.

It is raining and we have not had a chance to try it out yet but with no centerboard it should be much easier to sail off the beach than Nimué (Hunter 170) was.

She has the wing kit as well as a trapeze.

Watching the Listener

Listener 4, originally uploaded by mikemilton.

I was in town for a busker event and ended up watching a filming of "The Listener" in Dundas Square.

RAIN!

Ok, we had rain yesterday evening. It was a downpour peaking at over 130mm/hr. That is nearly 5 1/4 inches per hour!

Here is a picture of our weather station read-out.

Oh, yes. This weather station reads out a text status at the bottom of the display. At the time of the storm it read "Its raining cats and dogs"

Roast Pork with Apple Gravy

Cath made another delight from the LCBO magazine.

The gravy was an interesting touch!
