Davis weather machinery - Record & Trend

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

>I've been looking at the Davis catalog for a few years but haven't got
around to buying.  Do you have one?  Which one?  Which sensors?  How
much of it is on the roof?  Was it difficult to install?  -Olin

* I do not.  Ifeel they would be easy to install, but altho' I am
very fussy, i am also very handy, often making minor improvement
before an installation.

I like them, yet I feel they are limited, and I would have to
do much modification to their unit to support my basic weather
needs.  Then, i'd offer them my improvement, or have to
reinvent their portion, and having purchased on, makes one
appear to have perhaps borrowed on their intellectual propery
illicitly for gain.  Just an expensive hassle.

I'm sure it will peobably do what they represent.
You COULC request to buy a manual.  I always read manuals
before purchase.  Which is sometimes difficult in the
retail market, unlike commercial.

IF I got one, i would have it input data.  Mount it
with a lightening rod, and use a separate old computer,
and transfer data via floppy or temporary LAN,
then unLan them.

All you guys out there have power strips hooking
up your computer periferals to the wall?  Did you
get a $5-3 prong set of light to tell you the hot and
neutral aren't reversed?  And that the ground is functional?
You have a surge supressor, and... it has OR you have
gotten a surge suppresser for the phone/modem cable?
Some suppressors don't have a phone jack.  An addon
used to be availabe from radio Shack.  At $12 it's almost
as much as a new one.  WEIGHT tells you a lot about
suppressors.  GOOD ones have a wire-coil inductor that
is nearly the size of a child's fist of near solid copper
if really high quality.


Good links ListMommy!

Sunset western has 17 zones.  It bears little relation to USDA zone 10,
directly (I'm 17, near the coast near SF.)  But it tells a lot about the
climate.  The other info came mostly from Ortho Books.  Both have flaws, and
good points, like a spouse or a dog or a car or a boss.

Maybe you can grow avacados while your neighbor down the block and across the
street cannot.  These zones (were they a car) put you in the right gear.  You
must manage to turn it & gas it at just the right time.

I was a bench tech for sattelite panels once.  high frequency digital was new
then.  I was over my head.  Techs there 5 years did 5 panels to my 3.  I
studied the trends in problems.  In 3 months I did 10 panels.  As I fed them
all my notes, and they had experience, they did 12.  I went to another section
and did the same again, with something else totallly unfamiliar.  Record the
data now, for use next problem/year.  Plot it.  Trend it.  Color code when the
rains are.  My 1999 I overlays my 2000.  i look ahead, and SEE what i can
mopve back 6-8Weeks!  I read "Hope you're reading this in 2000!" (In red.)  I
AM.
