Weather Station

I have been ask by a few people where the weather data that appears on my Facebook time line comes from.
The  data comes from a W-8681 weather station located on a pole at the end of the garden. It has a solar panel to keep the batteries charge which saves getting it down if they go flat.                           The following list shows the main features of the unit.

• Atomic Locked Day, Date & Time
• Indoor / Outdoor Temperature °F / °C + Max / Min
• Wind Speed & Direction
• Rain Gauge (Self-Emptying)
• Barometer with Trend date
• Weather Forecaster
• Historic Data Storage & Display
• Indoor Air Pressure & History
• Frequency 868MHz  (from the remote sensors)  
    
  This data is processed by Cumulus weather software which can be viewed on the laptop. The data is also sent to Weather Underground,,The Met Office and APRS/CWOP.
  
  
  The system is pretty reliable and gives an accurate report on the weather conditions at my location.
  
   

Enjoying the ride.

When I bought the CBF I never thought I would enjoy it so much. It has always been my dream to own and ride a bike like this and I do sometimes feel a little smug when I see someone looking at it. It passed the MOT with no problems and I am very pleased with myself in fixing the fork seals. I was planning to replace the brake pads, but on checking they are no where near the limit so will wait until latter in the summer and do the oil at the same time. I also managed to find a luggage rack and top box at a reasonable price and I have to say this has transformed my use and enjoyment of the bike. Also got a new pair of boots which again has made riding a little more comfortable.
