Following Frigid Friday Fatalistically
I need to stop complaining about the cold. Every time I do, it gets even colder.
This morning the weather guessers claimed it was warmer than the last couple of days which have been FRIGID.
Fine and Dandy, but it seemed COLDER to me on the bike. It may be the humidity was higher, and tugging the chill factor along with it, but I was not overly warm unitl well into the last third of my commute this morning.
I've noticed my reported temperatures on the back of the bike have looked almost summerish... I connected the spare pouch-mounted GPS to the output of the Argent APRS board, and it appears the additional +5 VDC load on the internal regulator heats up the other parts on the interface board. How else to avccount for an 81 degree reading yesterday evening when it was barely above freezing?
