Couple things on my mind today. I’m pleased with how things are going with Barack Obama’s campaign and like the implications for you my unborn grandchildren. And Marcie just forwarded an interesting piece from the Times that supports my view that biofuels are dumb — at least the way we’re approaching them right now.

Mostly this is the tale of fixing my Davis Vantage Pro weather station’s repeaters after the system conked out yesterday. I almost typed the word “diagnosing” instead of “fixing” in that first sentence, but truth be told I never figured out why the things crapped out, or how I fixed them. The experience provided me a springboard to rant some more about wireless Internet.
By the way you can view the offending weather stations (who knows whether they’ll be up or not) at www.farm.haven.com, we were working on the “on top” one.
A wonderful geek project at the farm, putting up a weather station. I recount the adventure while simultaneously whining about my back, which went out for the first time in at least a decade yesterday.
This is the GeezerCast where I am hoping to forever depart from the “howcum the polls are so out of step with the government” ploy that I’ve been using. Darn nifty election, you bet. I also recount a few farm implement adventures, which also turned out just fine.
We (especially Marcie) spend a huge amount of time and energy restoring our farm to the native habitat that was here before settlers came. I spend a little time talking about where we get the seeds for that project along with some other prairie-farming tidbits.
