Rain rain go away....

There's time when we need rain, but I feel somebody has went a little overboard this year see.

This happened on Monday after a very windy & hard rain storm came rumbling through here.






Somebody...anybody please make it stop for awhile....:toilet:

Well, we are sweating our asses off over here, it does not get this hot! I don't know how the rest of you get anything done in the summer.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

It's been wet. And wet. And wet. We've been stuck in April-May since, well...April-May. We're under constant flood watch, and the rain is turning the weeds into trees. I can't even kill them because it's been raining every . single . day.

My only consolation is that being cooped up has forced me to make some progress on my Arduino touchscreen gauge project.

(no sensors attached yet...for the moment, the touch position is determining the readings while I work on code and bitmaps. This picture is heavily modified to try to show how vivid the OLED screen is...it's even more vivid than this, and yes, that's a stuck red pixel at the "3" :( )

heat generall bothers most people more now than 20 years ago.... people tend to stay indoors near the AC more,, and get less seratonan or whatever that stuff is your body makes due to sun light.

There is much badassness in your post/pic. I am set on going full Knight Rider on my new Tbird project and have been looking into options of using one of these, in place of the factory clock, to monitor various sending units for the drivetrain.

I hooked up my compass and temperature sensors today. If I tap on the left half of the screen it shows Volts; if I tap on the right half it shows compass and temp.

And the rain is back :(

Yeah I'm done with the rain as well. I haven't had the Thunderbird out in 3 weeks. Every chance I have to drive it also happens to be a day it decides to rain ALL day :mad:.

I have to mow my yard every 3 days. On the bright side I haven't watered my garden in a week.
