Being 71 isn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. New aches and pains. Got problems with my L5 vertebrae. I have to take an anti -inflammatory and go three times to the Spanish Inquisition known as physical therapy. they work my legs. oy vey.
The VP2 is working fine. I got a sensor that is reading zero - 24 inch deep soil sensor, but we have had so much rain it is going to take a while for the soil to dry out enough to see if it is truly zero or a wonky sensor. I did open the transmitter to check the board and three nasty looking spiders were pissed that I bothered them. I hoofed back into the house with a couple cans of compressed air, first can tried to blow them out, second can I inverted and froze their selves. The unit has a grommet that the wires go into the base of the transmitter. I probably need to get some of that epoxy again and just seal those areas up after a good cleaning out of critters.
One of the areas for people to check is that the wires going into a unit are not letting in critters and Charlotte can spin her web elsewhere.
Heard that if the Farmers Almanac is right , we will have a lot of snow out there. Probably this year I won’t venture out and loosen the wind unit or radiation shield as falling down at 71, I don’t bounce as well as I did at 61.
Anyway, good to do some reading and be in the background. Nope, no ants in the garden. the Squinnies, squirrels and rabbits seem to dominate
