Ok now I have stopped weewx and did a delete of the weewx.sdb. I did a 
start of weewx. That was at 2:22PM and that time is still showing on the 
web page. it is now 3:15PM. all other functions are working I think except 
the wind sensor. No rain yet either. How can I add the accumulated rain to 
the data base? I have 31.87 inches recorded so far this year on  my other 
system. It does not connect to the computer. 
Thanks Don
