So there is actually a point in my day
when I have fun!
Creating a rain gauge and hydrometer happen to be one of those moments 
These first three pictures are the steps in creating the hydrometer which is a weather tool to study humidity
First step ~cutting a piece of plastic from the cover of a lid ~ adding a dime for weight and nailing it to a 10 inch long board
And next a hair from my head is glued onto the plastic triangle, it's barely visible ... watch soon for the finished project. (I have to wait for the glue to dry completely and in our current weather that could take more than 24 hours)
The hair cells actually can make this little plastic triangle move up and down, that outta be interesting!
A used candle holder is the first step for the rain gauge
bending a coat hanger, now that was a feat in itself.. and not very easy!
Now the gauge is hung out on the trellis and waiting for the nights forecast of rain
Lo n' behold, already a half inch!
