Thanks to the non-soggy weather this morning, I was able to get out on the ladder and take down the anemometer (wind gauge) and open the thing up. I dried it all out (there was a little moisture in there) and sealed up every nook and cranny that I could
find with some silicone. With any luck at all, this should fix the wind speed errors that have been plaguing the station for
the past couple of months every time that it rains.
On a side note, it turns out to have been a very good thing that I went up on the ladder today. It seems that some of the
fasteners that I used to attach the anemometer mast to the house had rusted clean off! There was only one fastener holding
the thing on, and I would assume that with the next real wind storm, it would have come crashing down. It has now been
re-attached with some "outdoor" rated fasteners so I should be ok for at least another two years :)

It seem like my wind spikes are back. I have changed out cables and added some water sealant to those cables, but it appears to
have not corrected the problem. My next course of action will be to bring down the wind gauge and preform some electronic
surgery on it in an effort to keep stray water dropplets out of the workings. With any luck, I should be able to get around to it
next weekend.
