Why so Dry?

Posted on 2015/04/14 by gaspo

just had to share this rather obvious sat pic i took of the west-coast-bubble. no, not the liberal cultural bubble, but the insanely resilient high pressure that’s dominated the west conus for many years now what should be only a summer seasonal. can you see the clear high pressure bubble in this pic?

Spring Showers prevent may fires

well, thats what i hope, about 1/2″ total in local showers, front line still moving in, hoping it will wet things down enough to at least prevent lightning starts, cuz theres zaps near here can hear on the HF.

barometer repair

Posted on 2015/03/23 by gaspo

so i have this thing for barometers. this is the guts to a 1949-ish taylor handheld fishing barometer, ebay score out the door under $9. bonus, it’s broken. looks like the tiny thread that’s wound as the spring counter-tension has broken off the cantilever, hanging loose off to the right. a bit small, but an easy fix, i have good tweezers, just have to find my really good old-school nylon thread that will give this lil gem another life. actually, i dont know if it’s 1949. says “copyright 1939, 1946, 1949”. safe to guess it’s older than me at least.
