It has been a couple of months since I had a chance to update the Log...
Additions to the station:
WAP Access: Cell phone accessible Page: http://JaxWeather.net/WAP/

1-Wire Wind Instrument, kindly provided by Dave from Maryland. You can see his Weather Web Site here:
QuickSkys.com
Dave felt that my little assistance in helping him with some HTML was worth something, but I believe I got the better end of this deal and I sure do appreciate the sensor...
Brian the author of Weather Display was kind enough to code a new option into the program allowing a 1-wire wind sensor to override the wind report from the La Crosse. However as the wind instrument I have is a version one it was decided to allow the wind direction from the La Crosse to still report.
End result: Anemometer mast has 1-wire wind sensor at the top and the La Crosse Anemometer about 1 foot below. This did allow me to raise the mast about 1 foot overall and this weekend I plan on raising it another foot which I believe will give me about as good a reading as the surrounding area will allow without getting too crazy ;)
We have also setup the second La Crosse station as backyard weather station, currently running wireless but will be changing that to wired soon, and connected to Selene's Computer. As a result of some intermittent loss of signal it isn't always up to date but that will be corrected when I wire it. It reports to this page:
Johnson's Backyard Weather
Also been a couple of crazy months tracking and watching hurricanes, which so far have only caused some rain and thunderstorms here in NE Florida and we dodged another one as RITA is in the Gulf.. Still over 2 months to go so not a time to let your guard down.
That is the update for now :)
