Some days it doesn’t pay to get up. Took the rain gauge back to Lowes, no problem about refund, except they didn’t have one single rain gauge in that store - they were OUT. So, I’ve got the one that can fall over out there again. I’ll look on their website and see if I can order the type I got and have it sent to the store to avoid shipping. When I pick it up, I’ll check that tube right then at the bottom to make sure the new one doesn’t have a crack.
