Thank you, Veterans!

I am truly appreciative for what you all have done to ensure the freedoms I enjoy today. A heart felt thank you goes out to you all.

Every now and then my Alexa tells a really stupid joke that's so bad you just want to unplug the unit. As an example today she told this Thanksgiving utterance (I can't call it a joke):

"Why did the cranberry sauce cross the road? To get another side."

Has your digital assistant told you a real stinker? Post them here.

Just before "Loading Up" we had "Mail Call", Cordell Spencer, 3 Cots down in our GP Medium Home, received a letter and Picture of his Newborn Baby. He was the most decent, very Religious Man I have ever known, never took Pass to go into Bien HOA with us, he stayed in Hootch and read his Bible. He had been Transferred to "C" Company for this Mission, I was with "A" company.

Couple days ago I powered up my Video Editing system (2007 vintage Supermicro Server that is OLD, EOL, but still does the heavy lifting of SD/HD Video Editing and DVD/BR Authoring here)......

And when I powered it up this time.... Bios Reset itself, scrambling Drives, wouldn't get past Bios to Boot, Date, Time, Etc. Etc. Etc...

Battery Backup had failed....

This week we're recognizing, Mcginkleschmidt!

Once again he's provided a link for the Large JCV file for the new map update.
We have many members who need and appreciate that.

Thanks, Mcginkleschmidt, for your contribution to our, community!

Wasn't sure where to post this, so thought it best here where many might look.

dave817 (dave726 in other forums) is the gentleman who, for many years, kept the US & Canada H-D Dealers list updated on POI-Factory (he did both the HD dealers and the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives lists on the previous US based zumoforums.com then on the UK based www.zumouserforums.co.uk after zumofourms shut down)

I was thinking about it, it generates people adding seemingly useless comments every week to keep the above alive.

At the same time, is it patterned after A1C like when the doctor is checking for glucose?

It does strike me as quite odd.

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

...and as one article comment (not mine) said: ...and the other 55% are liars!

"The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a nonprofit research-and-education organization, estimates that more than 300,000 accidents a year, including 6,400 fatal accidents, stem from drowsy driving." Approximately 10% of auto accidents are believed to be related to drowsy driving.
