Actually did this last Monday.

@lucifargundam No idea, just an interesting image without context posted on Twitter. Sorry...

The good old days of nurses in starched white uniforms and hats. 😉

My grandfather who raised me in overalls on the right.

My grandmother who raised me.

My grandfather who raised me until his death when I was 13.

The sport of messing with little kids in the ER ;-)

Just back from walking with the dogs. Day is nearing an end on the river…

@SyntaxError the weather cam link:

Not much to see at night as the river is not lighted ;-)

@SyntaxError there is a unit inside that links to the sensor then forwards to your local WiFi and then onto WeatherFlow. Not sure it can be used with internet connectivity. Does not have a display console or such like many weather stations have. A Pi might could be used to pull the info, then display it.
I use one to get my weather cam feed past my firewall and to a hosting company that allows it to be viewed by lots of people at once.

@SyntaxError It does link to the Weatherflow network of thousands of stations. API available for others, I have Weather Underground linked now. May add WeatherBug later. You can do a direct pull of the raw readings without going through Weatherflow also, but easiest it to go through the phone app or the website.

15 barge tow pushing up river. About as big as seen on this part of the river. 3 empties and 12 loaded.

@SyntaxError Weatherflow Tempest is the one I have. Very simple setup and no moving parts.

Front of tow with the depth transponder and wind flag. Crew runs those out as the tow string is built.

Large string of barges coming upriver out of the lock

Weather station mounted on the deck

Bald eagle flying by the deck caught on the weather cam.
Watched it live as it flew by. Looking out the window at just the right time.
