… you wake up and there’s no hot water!
(igniter on the unit appears to be faulty)
Come on… keep it going!
You’ve run out of toilet paper.
Dog is running around the yard with your prized Loki Fish in its mouth. #-o

You realize that due to (another) power failure during the night your clock is incorrect and you have gotten up an hour early.
… you wake up and there’s no hot water!
(because there has been no sun for two days!)
…you didn’t check WD before you left for work and when you get there you find your page hasn’t updated since the middle of the night. (Hasn’t happened in quite a while, but makes for a bad day.)

you wake up late and realize that the specialist appointment you have waited 6 months for was 2 hours ago
You wake up, look at the clock and leap out of bed thinking its 7:20, put your glasses on and realise you’ve mis-read the digital clock and its only 3:20… yes I really did this a few days ago!
yup time to get a big display clock!

You go downstairs for something, and when you get there, you forget what you went down there for #-o If I had a dollar for everytime that happened!
we got one of those Oregan scientific ceiling projection clocks when we were in the UK last year…i really recommend it…you know easily in the middle of the night what the time is…
now, what you really need is that same idea but the current weather conditions projected onto the ceiling!

Brian, can you interface this with WD???

i see they do now have outdoor temperature on the display…
they musy listened to my suggestion…
windspeed/rain would be good!
looks like i will be able to support this station via the software that comes with it
Dog wakes you up by scratching bedroom door at 05:00 - needs a leak.
Find glasses, fall over slippers in the dark, dog excited and runs between you legs, fall over dog. Realise you need a leak too but can just hold on long enough to release dog to the garden.
Quick leak and dog has started barking at some wretched cat. Belt out of door to shut dog up and slip on icy step. By this time both tender backside and wide awake.
Go to make morning series of mugs of tea. Have to fill up sugar bowl and get more milk from fridge in the garage (avoiding icy step)
Things went downhill from there …
Dog will have an anal injection of right toe if there is a repeat tomorrow morning.
Sounds like a good reason for not having a dog…

Hey, if you haven’t experienced your dog being sprayed by a skunk at 5:00 AM you haven’t lived :lol:

Don’t you have raccoons? I would have thought if the dog could get it then a raccoon would have snagged it long before.
