Troubleshoot Evaporation Pan

Figure out what needs calibration

- Pluvio 1 and Pluvio 2 use different base stands. Make sure to include the Pluvio 2 mounting hardware!

- Evaporation pan may not be in the budget this year if the gauging unit (Campbell 21531) needs to be replaced.

- Conduit isn't an immediate priority since this depends on the final setup.
