Progress

I think I am over the hump with running.

I have done 1 mile every other day.

I am thinking I can extend it out to 1.25 one day and 1.5 the other day. I may even press and run on consecutive days. I have a problem though. I don't know if I want to go back to the gym. II am out of excuses. I will force myself back for a month.

Ignore this post

Problem:

Specs take too long to create!

Solution:

Create MS Access solution that will read:
1) a scanned paper spec - converted to a excel or mdb file
2) a set of catalogs

It will produce a complete set of piping specs suitable for AutoPLANT.

Step 1. Scan the paper specs and convert to digital format.
Step 2. Tweek the digital data - add catalogs to look through.

Step 3. Run the automated program that will produce the end result.

Potential problems!

The finished file may not be able to be read by SPECGEN

An added bonus would be to create a finished file which could be read by specgen

I do not know how ambitious of a project this is, but it could be very useful.

Perhaps I could make money. It would lead to a better understanding of databases and AutoPLANT.

This is a project worth studying.

Getting excited!

OK - to you regular guys - not much to be excited about.

But for me! I am jogging 3/4 mile and my foot is in great shape. I will continue through the rest of this week. Next week I plan on doing 1 milers - every other day.

I am hoping I am finally at the beginning after my two year hiatus.

I think I am at the beginning

I jogged 3/4 mi at least three times last week. I walked 4 miles every day last week.

This morning I am going to try and stretch my jog to 1 mile.

I am hoping this is it. The start of my road back. It has been a long time since I have done whatever distance I have felt like doing. Maybe it's over, but I'd like to not think of that. I don't know if I will ever give up.
