Thanks Gary for the response. 

I was thinking that since the value would change that it should be recoding 
it. I do understand "how can there be a direction if there is no wind" but 
if there is no wind why is it changing. Unfortunately it was a bad cut from 
the syslog to show this. Maybe I should look at changing to km/h instead of 
mph or maybe knots? Or have a section that would convert it to whatever 
format I would like to call.
