This week we're recognizing, Mahoney!

Mahoney has been a member of POI Factory for over thirteen and a half years!

While he's "only" updated 13 POI files in the last week, and we did recognized him last April, I think most members would agree that six months is about the max we should go between Mahoney recognition's.

I was thinking about it....the two hose bibbs I have, have a lead warning on them. They were sold online by that huge superstore that the world's richest man runs, and I thought, description saying no lead, ah, no big deal I won't drink from the hose anyway.

On September 22, Microsoft released new updates to their MS 365 products. The level is Version 2008, build 13127.20508. I read the details but there seemed to be nothing earthshaking about any of the fixes so I don't remember them. Everything I use MS 365 for worked before the fixes and they still work after the fixes so I'm good to go.

For those of us who have kids, are you for it? I'm finding that likely our interests are very different based on the ages of the kids.

For the first time in my life, I did a board of ed Zoom. Wow. Lots of whining from all fronts.

Made by 2 cos. in the USA?

JCI and Exide?

On one car, the battery is 4 y.o. and when the car sat 5 weeks, dead.

Just Friday, my wife's car sat 6 days and dead. All kinds of problems service stabilitrak and service airbag as a result.

I know it's a silly reason, but I accept that I will buy a new laptop about every 5 years. I like to have a business computer as I feel they last longer at home. This time I was going to get a business class device at a retail store (making it business hardware with a consumer warranty), but it changed....

Long story short, maybe the mfg's eBay store is a good way to get a good price.

I downloaded the new RLC/Speed cams, then POILoadered them to my GPS. The program said I succeeded in loading 38,000 locations. Such a nice even number, and I have a feeling I'm a mid-range POI Factory user in terms of location totals.

This week we're recognizing, John From PA!

John From PA has been a member of POI Factory for over 6 years.

This week he helped another member find the online manual for his Garmin Nuvi 660.

So, we didn't make our annual trip out west (read: Las Vegas) this year due to to Covid 19 and all the restrictions and unknowns. The outside of my Sierra has spider webs on it, due to the little use it is getting presently.
