Lightning strike yesterday evening...

Sorry for the little wobble - I still can't figure out how to use that
stabilization thing - I know, I'm a putz.


I took a direct hit on my lightnig rod on the garage the day before we
went on vacation (2 weeks ago)
The Mexican who had been working in the yard about ****ed his pants.
He was plastered against the garage door, not moving. I was out in the
yard when it hit but this was the second direct strike I have seen
there in a year so I wasn't all that "shocked"
It did blow the serial port on my weather station again. I guess I
will have to work on that problem. It seems to be a pattern. ;-)


wow , be careful something is attracting and acting like a lightning rod.
if you do not have one you might want to put one up
