Bought a Radio Shack Sun & Sky Monotoring Station on ebay

Well it was cheap and looked interesting. Turns out it was designed by none other than Forest M Mims III.
Wanted it for project ideas for the PIC book, pretty much just four LEDs used as color light sensors and a digital readout.

Mims is one of my (very few) heros.

A VERY cool gadget.

I still have all his little RS handbooks (ones I did not loan out; early 1980's).

They are very yellowed, bought way back when I was good at electronics and worked in at field I like Forest too.

Somehow, I see Bill buying that.
