It will connect to the indoor base unit either via cable or wireless. It comes with software to upload the weather data to your computer and or the internet. [...]

Nothing Special

May 26th, 2007 · No Comments

They heard it was spring

March 24th, 2007 · No Comments

A quick trip to the yard this morning left me in amazement. I swear when I checked things a couple of days ago most of it was still in it’s winter slumber. This morning there was growth everywhere I looked. Most of the willows have leaves as do the roses, kiwi, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, blueberries [...]
