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.

Bought 2 new DriveSmart 66 units to replace the wife and daughter's old nuvi 765 units
Doing updates on all my units which I don't do quite as often any more.

Found a strange marketing strategy...
So my local supermarket has been running this deal: you buy two cartons of their mini-cans of soda/pop, and you get 3 more cartons for free. Basically, you spend $18 and get $27 worth of products for free.
It would be a deal if you bought 3 and got 2 free, so this is really strange to me.
