Stuck in a “project” rut

Day 77 of 1000

Our 1000 day plan has given everyone in our family lots of energy to get on track with a lot of stuff.  Now that we are in the last third of the semester, Lorena and the kids hit the books hard most nights and most of the time on weekends.  We miss workouts more often than we would like, but that is because of all the school work.  I like to fill up the time when the kids do their school work with learning projects.  I am all fired up to do something cool, but now that Troy has moved on to more important research and we have hit most of our big milestones for the GaugeCam project, I am struggling with finding something that really excites me.  It would be very cool to work on a project like this Flying Machine, but do not have the mechanical skills.

I have what seem like very good options, but every one of them have some caveats.  BleAx is great, but Kelly will not have time to really jump back into her Betty Blonde comic strip until after spring semester. I could move on with GaugeCam, but we have not really defined what we want to do next.  The Android programming is fun, but I have not identified anything that is not already done that I want to do.  I work want to work on SQL, but that suffers from the same problem as Android.  Maybe I will talk to my buddy Jeff to figure out something to make that requires a control system and vision.

Update:  And another thing.  I am WAY to fat.  When I get in this mode and do not have a project to distract me, I eat way too much.  I have to find a project.

  1. an exercise bike? That could be shared by everyone.
    And you could think as you pedal.

    Takes less time than going to the gym and the weather doesn’t matter

  2. Dad

    That is good advice Margaret! I think I will start shopping for that or a treadmill or a rowing machine or an elliptical would be great.
