Live Wire and Accurate Weather

@ 9:15 am 61°F, Cloudy, SW 2 mph wind, 0” rain

Zero. Zero inches of rain the apps claim. Yet all day yesterday moisture dribbled from the sky. I had to use windshield wipers regularly and I was definitely wet after finishing the set up of the electric net fencing.

Muddy paw prints on floor and bed tell me there was something wet outside.

A puddle on my camping chair magically appeared.

For some reason I didn’t have to water the garden.

This. This is why it’s important to have my own little weather station. It’s bothered me to no end that I didn’t have one during the last year. It doesn’t feel like I’m recording actual data for my place when I rely on apps for the weather.

So I am glad I am finally remedying that.

Now, my electric fence is working. I turned it on and used the fence tester to see the voltage. It’s right where it’s supposed to be. Rider pup tested it once. He decided it’s definitely working! A quick yelp, and he won’t do that again.

Below: A quick vid of the apiary. It’s doing very well still.
