Denny setting up the weather station.
Kathy pretending to work on the anemometerso it looks like she helped.
The weather station is up and running.Denny and Kathy "assembled" and installed Kathy's Davis Weather Station in the middle of the vineyard today. There was really little assembling to do, but we took our time and were very careful, so it took us many hours to get it functional.
The purpose of the weather station is to keep a log of the micro climate in the vineyard so we know what kinds of growing seasons produce good grapes and which don't. Kathy and Denny are also interested in wind turbines and you need to know the average wind speed where you live to see if a wind turbine is practical for your situation. The station will be able to provide us with that info. Not that anyone can afford a 15-grand wind turbine even with the gov't rebate! It might pay for itself before we die. What is the return? 15 years?

Kathy joined the Citizen Weather Observer Program but hasn't figured out how to upload her data yet. She sent an email out for help. Another day.
Tomorrow another foliar feeding and maybe some hoeing before it rains. And grocery shopping.
