Keeping The Windmill Alive – December 2025

Our 2025 cruises are finished. Now to relax and enjoy Christmas with our family.

Humpday is almost over !

Holiday Shopping whew

Spent the last weekend with my daughter and her family for an early Christmas.

Well, I guess it's time to start prepping "Daniel" (aka our British sounding GPS) for whatever adventures we do over the holidays.

Headed to the store later to get the stuff needed for Christmas snacks and my potato salade.

I'm from away
locals describe us import/foreigners as from away
I've been in Canada for 23 years, and still I am surprised how cold, cold gets
anyhow,
windmill,
its so cold that hot water tanks freeze
inside the house if one element wears out
re-insulating today, adding 16 inches of foam to outside walls, then recladding,
horrible cold

Sorry. I got nothing today. (smile)

Trip coming up.

to the Mercer Museum. For some reason I had thought it was in NJ lol

It's fascinating how long ago there were these folks who "dabbled" in many things. There was an 85 yo tour guide who was very enthusiastic and told us Mercer went to Harvard, Penn Law, but didn't want to be a lawyer so he traveled the world.

I said this story made me think of Dupont and Longwood Gardens.

When I said most of us haven't done a fraction of what these guys did, he intelligently pointed out why, in his honest opinion.

Then we were able to do stuff in North Wales and go through a bunch of red light cams, I think not on red, but on yellow.

Again I point out I didn't think my dad went to a very good college for grad school, but today it has a 5% acceptance, so back in the day imho Harvard and Penn, was attainable if of means, that's different than 2025.

Weather has been nice the last week.

Today we are starting to make the food and goodies for Christmas Then take gifts to the neighbors. Football later. Tomorrow evening drive around and see some of the light displays.

shopping and are settled in for the rest of the week. Good thing since forecast calls for rain, lots of rain

nothing

Happy holidays

went to Bucks County. It's nice to go somewhere else. Doylestown. As mentioned a few weeks ago went to Downingtown for the first time ever. Always mix these two up lol

Just have a couple of last-minute gifts for the neighbors and drive around tonight to see some light displays.

Got my Windmill back????

nothing

Just waiting for tomorrow to get here.

Merry Christmas everyone

.

Monthly visit to our Sacramento area office...

Took a weekend trip.

Now I'm having a quiet Christmas Eve.

Sigh... I got nothing to say.

Have to mess with an online order to get the wrong item exchanged pain in the butt.

Stormy atmospheric river weather expected in SoCal soon, hunkering down!

please

A white Boxing Day, 4” of the white crap!

to a bday party today. It's at a rink as it's a teammate of my son's. Parents are welcome so it's good to support a teammate and also for parents to get out on the ice.

Happy holidays to all members.

winds up to 55 mph. Took down a tree in my backyard...

Trip coming up.

Mild, but turning cold overnight.

hello

Hopefully, better than last year.

All

moment, got to attend a bday party where parents were welcome too. The family rented the ice rink for 1.5 hours and sticks and pucks were allowed (we still put on helmets). Got to have a catch and pass and shoot with my son. It's very rare. With baseball one can simply go in the backyard. With ice hockey, not so much. This is Harry Chapin song material lol

Baltimore, MD to Cleveland. OH.

Just football and waiting to go to the back dr Tuesday.

Went for a short ride on Christmas day. Went down A1A to Sebastian Inlet then back up US1. The weather was nice and there wasn't much traffic for most of the ride. The beach parking along there was packed but the roads were pretty clear.

Getting ready to travel soon so getting things done.

Rain for New Years Eve.

I haven't been here in a while. Time to say hello.

Raging wind and snow.

because the rest of this week (year) looks like it will get really busy around our place. Also looking forward to seeing who gets COY 2025.

nothing

...blow on the vanes this month to keep that windmill spinning!

Have to wait until 2 pm to see the Dr. for back shots.
