I'm not sure I should work on the boat today... cause of bad luck! Bad luck is this stray skunk that comes around the house looking for food. My wife believes these creatures are simply misunderstood; she empathises with bad luck and leaves out food. So now we have a yard full of skunks and coons and me. She did take me in.... and that has worked out for me anyway.. I haven't seen any rabbits in a while... I'm sure they will show up as soon as I plant the wife's garden.
I have to install a new speedo in the boat. and I'm hoping to track down the loose connection in my sailcomp. On occasion, the display would freak out and come back again... I'm hoping it's just a loose wire.
I'm still working on my VMG macro too, although I have loftier goals with that whole effort. I was hoping to figure out a way to integrate a whole system... compass heading, AWA, Course, and VMG all in real time... I know they sell stuff that does all of that, but I have more time than cash at the moment. I just need to figure out the interface.. maybe it can't be done... but it is fun to tinker. In Physics class our group wrote a macro to gather data from an electronic eye and store it in excel... it wasn't too bad once the interface was working.
