Keeping The Windmill Alive – January 2026

 

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

No Where

Unfortunately, no where this week because I have a cold.

Rain

Rain, but no snow today in S MD.

Hello

Hello

it's

all for the kids. Skating clinic 7:30 AM, birthday party 11 AM, hockey practice 1:15 PM, leave the party early.

What caught us off guard was the impact of the snow Saturday morning.

My wife was driving and she said a driver coming the opposite way motioned for her to slow down. This was in Radnor PA.

Lo and behold, a 4 car accident with 3 more off the road. At this point I would say < 1" of snow.

What's going on in 2026? Cars are more capable than ever before, most people have AWD, ABS, traction, stability, lane departure, side mirrors that light up, 360 cams. Is it the skill of drivers aren't there due to tech? Or is it a lack of caring for the roads in PA? My bro is in CT, but he does describe similar accidents. I think it's the times.

Not only the above but folks discuss cancellations before hand now as well.

Hello

Sleep

I've been getting more sleep (baby steps, but still progress), a rather uncommonly mentioned resolution but it's making me feel better overall. ~6.5hrs to ~7.5hrs, goal is 8 hours.

Generator

Had a company come out to see what it would cost to put in a full-size generator, could put a good chuck of a down payment towards a new truck.

COY HOF and COW HOF problems

Has anyone else noticed that the Contributor of the Year Hall of Fame page http://www.poi-factory.com/node/52030 is missing the link for 2025, even though an announcement was made earlier this month? Also on the COW HOF page http://www.poi-factory.com/node/6204, links for some weeks seemingly missing in 2025, are actually mistakenly sorted at the very top of the list?

I attempted to report this via the contact form, and by direct email a few weeks ago and again today, but so far I have not received any response, and have not seen any updates to those pages. Any suggestions?

Too Much Snow Here

Plus limited transportation to get to work today and then add super cold temps, it might be time to move soon!

will probably have a little football withdrawal this weekend with the break before the Superbowl. Someone in my house thinks it would be a good time to catch up on outside projects. Guess you can have that mind set when you're living in the SW with great weather expected rolleyes

Another day

Good day!

Sunny

Sunny and 16 F degrees here now.

Been snowed in since Friday, so no driving, going to need to stage a breakout soon.
