Checking out the cams in the dark, interesting to see where the blinky lights are... 1 Quote

Should abandon the wave height sensor altogether as it's pretty useless on Beltzville lake. 1 Quote

The ever elusive fried cheese ball from Rofo. i dont think any of them have them anymore, and even back when we had to find them, they were crazy hard to find. This was almost a deal breaker. We even tried to get the Russians to substitute cheese balls for Pizza, and little Caesars at that. I guess they knew it is shit pizza too. 1 Quote

Without it, really we just have a Chinese built, Russian traded, very heavy weather reporting machine. The problem is, the wave height sensor we have isnt calibrated in Centimeters, its calibrated in Meters, based on the fact that the Russians most likely stole it from the South China Sea, where wave heights are big. so we are trying to measure Beltsvilles tiny wave heights on a scale thats really just to big. @toast21602 pulled his hair out trying to adjust the algorithms to understand that something like .00569 M was in fact a real number and just getting it out 5 decimal places almost cost him one of his running trophies cause he almost missed a marathon. 1 1 1 1 Quote

Make sure to remind JF Dan about our upcoming supper date in Malvern. I think he texted me at the end of last ski season and offered to treat me to hors d'oeurves at The Sloppy Pig for being such a radical skier. 1 Quote
