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 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
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
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
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
We went out on the boat today. Unfortunatlly it wasn't really windy enough to even put up the sails. We had a lot of fun, but it would have been better sailing. It was pretty cold at times, but not terribly. I took a ton of pictures for
I woke up at like 945. It was a bit late, especially because I was in bed so early, but I needed it. When I finally got up I started making breakfast and got a text from my dad. We were supposed to go over for breakfast. We threw on
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 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
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
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
This evening I worked with Mark on his math review. I think it just makes me like the teacher less. The review is far more complicated than the assignment and the questions add complexity that isn't needed to demonstrate that they know what was tought. As an example
