Epoxy!

I got a new rotor and cups assembly for the weather station anemometer and installed them today. Last night I epoxied the cups into the snap-in brackets on the rotor. The cup I super-glued back on to the old rotor a couple of weeks ago held but one of the others came out in the last high wind event. I had put drops of super-glue on the other cup brackets, but not in the junctions.

I also put a couple of guy wires from the mast to the peaks of the roof to minimize the mast's swaying in high winds. The wires pull from the NE and NW only, so southern sector winds will push the mast north, but they'll prevent an oscillation cycle from setting up.

Thanks, again, as always. :)


Thank you, Ken!

I hope that holds. Thanks for your work!
