u/Comfortably_Paranoid

Motivated by understanding how much water my vegetable garden was getting, I bought a rain gauge. I’m the kind of person that likes to measure things, this one was cheap, and requires no batteries.

I told my wife this and she was incredulous, she couldn’t understand the reason. I thought it wasn’t so strange because when I was a kid my dad had one.

I installed it on a broken broom handle a few weeks ago, but no rain until last night. And here in Ishikawa we got a lot, it was still raining this morning when the level was 37 mm, and I “reset” it by dumping the water out.
