[simpits-tech] Altimeter mod

[Marv De Beque]

Brrrrrrr!  We hit 4 degrees last night.  The neighbor¹s cat came over to
visit, put his paw on the aluminum flashing of the window, and his paw froze
to the window!

Took a minute or two before he got free.  I think it is a little tender
because when he arrived this morning he didn¹t like standing on it too much.

The good news is that it is 72 degrees in here and I hope it stays that way.
That cat wishes he was inside, too.
