Who got hit by weather?

Call me crazy but this on the roof would look a bit odd IMO. This is the
station I have.

It would look like someone who was an amateur meteorologist buff lived under
that roof. Nothing redneck in that, at all, IMHO.

Would you say that a radio station, or a FBO looked more like a redneck place,
with one of those setups on the roof? I don't think so.

Put it where it will work. Otherwise, you are wasting it's capabilities. You
might want to see about putting the temperature sensor elsewhere, if that is
possible. The roof is a bad place, for a couple reasons. The rain collector
could be put lower than the ridge, so it is not visible from the road. All that
needs to be on a pole above the roof is the wind equipment.

I know of a local grass strip runway that has people who live along it
where I've notice a aircraft up on blocks in the front yard... Does that
count as a redneck fly-in/fly-out community?

Only if the grass is so tall that you can only see the rudder sticking up from
the grass.

Added points if there are a couple broken lawn mowers, sitting with it! g

Nawh, the yard is well mowed... Might just be his "parts plane"... It's
been awhile since I've been over there, so I don't remember if the wings
were still on it...

Add even more points if there's an ex-wife's second cousin living in it.

Or would that be.... "living out of it?" :-)

Is the pit bull chained to the landing gear?

Nawh, otherwise, it wouldn't still be up on the blocks...

Seems that most dogs, if you chain them to a post or something, will wrap
themselves around it to the point where there is less than a foot of chain
still left... My current dog is pretty bad about trying to dig underneath
a fence, so at one time, I had him on a very long chain with a loop on one
end that was tossed over a 1" thick solid piece of round steel driven 30"
into the ground and sticking up about 18"... The loop prevented the
chain from wrapping around the post... It took a bit of doing to position
the post so that he could not loop around a tree or anything... Hell, he
could somehow manage to find the single twig in that section of yard and
get it wrapped around it... Eventually, I convinced him that getting close
to the fence was not a good idea after I ran an livestock type electrical
wire around it...
