Hair Cut

Warren and I went after I got off work and got haircuts. It's been a while since I got a cut, so mine was really long. Warren's wasn't too bad, but he loves getting his cut. They had a big line, but luckily I

Packed Gym

Mark and I worked out tonight, but the gym was absolutely packed. It was wall to wall people and people standing around everywhere. We lifted weights for about 20 minutes, then Mark was able to find one of the good treadmills. I ended up running on the indoor track, which

Mark's Weight Lifting Classes.

Mark started weight lifting classes with Sarah today. He seemed to have a lot of fun and enjoyed it. He said he learned a lot and was really proud that he was able to do a squat with the 45 pound bar. While they did that we ran to Texas

Meh day

It took some effort to get out the door today. I had to run out and get my coffee cup, and had to make several trips in and out. When I finally did leave the car threw a tire pressure warning, so I had to head back and change to

Arduino Wind Indicator

I worked on my wind indicator app a little bit. I am using an optical encoder to determine wind angle, it has a 3ish degree of precision (kinda). The device has 10 pins, 8 of those being digital pins. These connect to 8 different pins on an Arduino. Then in

Another Dog Attack

Little Mark got attacked by the neighbor's dog today. The kids were headed out to get into the car to get home, and their dogs got out. Nikki screamed for Warren to run, and he made it into the garage, Duke did as well. But Mark got trapped

Project Coming Along

My Arduino project is coming along. I did need to order a new arduino board as my micro isn't working. I read up on tech specs for my encoder, and think I have a good plan to get everything together. If I can get everything working, I may

A Old Project Revived

A few years ago I created a project that took a rotary encoder and would use a windvane to give me relative wind direction. I got it working ok, but I am going to revive the project. I am coming up with a plan of attack and may even create

After Math

Mark finished his Math test today. He seemed much more relaxed that yesterday once he was done with it. He thinks he did pretty good. He has the concepts down I'm really proud of him. Nikki worked in Salt Lake today,, so I picked up the kids at

More Math

I was exhausted by the end of the day today. I took a long nap when I got home till dinner. After dinner Mark and I worked on his review so he can finish his test tomorrow. He seemed really stressed and off while working on it, but we got
