Day4- Weather update

The ghouls are apparently watching over us as it finally looks like cool and dry for Halloween! We're expecting a front to pass through today with rain and wind but things should be drying out over the next couple of days. Once I screwed the canopy feet down to 2x4 blocks the tent stability problem was basically cured! It can handle up to about 15-20mph wind with no major problems. I haven't had to put any legs back in place or reattach components in the last couple of weeks. The vortex apparatus is definitely affected by humidity and weather. Last night during the test it was very sluggish. We are having unusually warm weather and high humidity. I had to keep cranking the hoops around for about 20 minutes before it would run on its own. That would be a drag if we needed yet another person to assist tunnel rotation but I am certain once things dry out we'll be good.
