I got my weather station up on the plain, it should be recording the weather every hour now. Will keep about a weeks worth of data at once per hour. I have to get up there every week to download it into a 'puter.

Tim, someday I've got to acquaint you with "aggregate base" material and what is called "drain rock". Agg base has lots of different sizes of material down to clay size, compacts and sticks together and stays put for road base type stuff. Drain rock is one size, clean, no small stuff, drains real good but runs around a bunch under your feet. Next time for your driveway maybe try a 3/8" crushed, its pretty, stays put pretty good and doesnt run around too much. What we put on the StoneyPlain road was an Agg Base, but it seems to be lacking some of the fines to bind it together and is loosening up on top.
