Weather device
#1

I can’t believe it, after all these years I have recently discovered that Newell installed a local weather device on our rig. It’s in the bathroom and has been covered up by a sliding cover. Here is a list of the info it provides. I have started using it because the weather forecasting here in Alaska has not been the least accurate for our locations. 

If there are water drops visible, it is raining. 
If there is frost on it, it is cold outside.
If there is snow on it, time to relocate. 
If it’s missing, hurricane or tornado, time to relocate. 
If it’s hot to the touch, the sun is shining. 
If it’s dark, time to go to bed.

Technology is grand !

That’s pretty funny Richard! Ironically when we were on last years trip, I depended on that weather decoder glass thingy myself! Our weather then was foggy and on some nights had water droplets.

You need to get in line buddy, I asked for mine first

On second thought, you should get yours before I get one (ever the optimist) because you know I'm gonna have to call you fity times and have you explain how it works...ha!

It is lacking in 316. I didn’t think to install one when I built the bathroom. I have ordered one ….. and some new sawzall blades!

Such fun! I'm proud to be a part of this group. Once in awhile it's nice to cut up.

Arch I always enjoy our discussions.
