The Weather Station...

I have installed an Acurite 5-in - Weather Station on the roof to monitor the conditions on Lake Erie. It is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi4 computer by USB on which I am currently running a free WeeWx 5.0 software package. 
This is mostly to monitor the wind speed and wind direction as these conditions contribute to waves on the Lake. 
The resulting web page can be viewed here.

Left Shoulder Issues...

 While surfing last September my left shoulder started bothering me. It was extremely painful to raise my arm above my head so paddling was completely out of the question.After having an Ultrasound it was discovered that I had a sizeable full thickness tear involving the supraspinatus tendon measing 2.1 x 1.6cm and infraspinatus/subscapularis tendinopathy. Unfortunatly I'm still awaiting a surgery date.
