    Yeah I sure am for sure hopping it stays on the other side of the island. I'm in declutter mode ,and its been a success, just a chuck chuck and Chuck it all out. ,

    I've been struggling with neck and shoulder pain, brutal lately. I have my new weather stuff setup, but haven't done much else. This weekend could suck, weather wise. All depends on how much snow this side of the island gets.

    No, I don't presently send any weather data to the cloud etc. I may go that route at some point, have to get it all working first though.

    Just about finished taking down and packing away all the indoor Christmas decorations. All the outside stuff came down before the last storm. Once that's all done I plan on getting back to some Pi stuff. I have a few things I want to tinker with to pass away the stuck in the house hours, lol.

    I somehow misplaced / lost my Pi stuff thumb drive. It was really handy for new installs etc as it has all my tweaks and cheats on it. Lots of how to's too. Guess I'll have to make up a new one.

    Found my missing thumb drive. I'm likely going the PICO route for now with my new weather setup. For the outside wind sensor / measuring end anyway. I'll be programming it from my Pi 400. I have just enough room to do my (inside for now) temporary testing setup, right next to my Pi 400.
    Lots of code out there for it, Pi wise. Not so much PICO Micro Python code though. I'm hoping it isn't too hard to convert one to the other.

    That's pretty cool, I can see me buying at least one some time down the road.

    Did a little tinkering today. Plugged my custom modified pHat Stack into my Pi 400. Then all my Breakout Garden related stuff was plugged into that. It's a mock up of the indoor part of the puzzle. The indoor BME280, SPI LCD display(s) and some other sensors. Some of its on Proto Zero's and some on a Breakout Garden Hat. I had removed it and plugged in a Pi Zero, now its back on the Pi 400.

    I can code on the PICO (what will eventually be outdoors) end of things, and or, the Pi indoor end of things, all on the Pi 400.

    The two small 160x80 LCD's were what I had on hand. And the same ones used on the Enviro+, which made using that code easier. So my initial thoughts were one for indoor and one for outdoor. I'm leaning more towards one LCD now though, this one.

    For now I'll just plug it into this.

    And plug that into the pHat Stack where the two small displays are now.
    I have a birthday coming up next month, and will likely buy a Display Hat Mini then. Been wanting one anyway.
