New toys (tools!) for you! :)

I always shut down operations due to high winds; I hate grit in my teeth! ;)

I inquired about the part needed to get the rocketbomplane wind monitor to read wind speed. The most recent parts list on their website says $68 as of Jan 2023. Probably won’t hear back until next week of course. Meanwhile I have a refurbished three cup anemometer on the way.

Next on the tech list is at least one of the linear actuators that will open/close the sides and gable vents. They’re like hydraulic cylinders, but electric.

That will have to wait for fence rail to braces and then a bunch of other stuff to be able to get plastic film put on.

Ran through the numbers and between budget and time, this thing’s going to take the rest of the year. I’m little front yard gardening again this year.
