Measuring temperature without really knowing what we're doing. Meanwhile I've discovered that I've made serious errors in my measurement method. The infrared thermometer should be used differently.

Baked one of these yesterday using more or less the formula from The Bread Beaker's Apprentice.
Just out of the oven. May have a slight fever.
As I start to get into this project, looking around at all of the things in my life and my home, the thing that strikes me most is the stories that go with the objects, the memories they conjure. I guess that's what gives seemingly worthless objects the most precious sentimental value.
Anyway, this is a Galileo Thermometer. It was a gift from my husband's father and step-mom to both of us for Christmas one year. I can't even recall now why we didn't open the gift at their home as we usually did before they moved away. However, that year they gave us the wrapped gift to take home and put under our tree. My husband stood it upright in the back of the car - God only knows why - and of course it fell over. As I took it out of the car upon our arrival home I could feel something rattling around inside. It felt and sounded as though something inside it had shattered. I was certain it was broken and I was irritated with my poor hubby for not being more careful. Oh the joy of the season! :D Imagine my delight to open it and discover this beautiful gift, intact and unbroken! A little Christmas miracle - hee hee.
Galileo was brilliant. What a mind. If you care to know how this works, read here: www.howstuffworks.com/question663.htm
The temperature in the house when I took this was 20 degrees celcius - that's 68 degrees for my fahrenheit friends.
A 1950's thermometer at my Nans. Its in °F as it pre-dates the use of Celcius (Centigrade). I think its Retro Cool.
This old Pepsi thermometer caught my eye at my stepdaughter's home and invited a photo for the memories.

A late night call to the GP and then a 140 km round trip to the local hospital for my daughter who was having breathing problems. We got home after 3am.
She loves to play doctor at home and so one of her toys from her doctor set seems appropriate.
(She's okay now by the way!)

This is an aquarium thermometer made with an ESP-07 and a one-wire DS18B20. It's designed to periodically ping a remote API, publish an MQTT message, and/or provide a CoAP endpoint.
A jumper toggles between "run" and "bootload" mode. TX, RX, GND and VCC are exposed via right-angle pins for ease of programming.
The enclosure is a KIT-1593P from BusBoard Prototype Systems. Love these things--they give you an enclosure, screws, and a custom-fit PCB in a single package.
My dad set up a thermometer (with the probe end stuck in the turkey) to make sure that the turkey is cooked well enough (but not overcooked).

Thermometer by the kitchen window. Left side (blue) shows the indoor temperature, right side (red) shows the outside temperature. Brrrr!
Gerald's out x-country skiing. He's insane.
Another shot of the LCD Thermometer. The probe on the end of the cable can actually go into water too which is pretty cool. Especially the $1 price tag!
