Yes my windmill has been around for some time. I've had to change the head (the part that spins) a few times.
Since we have a constant breeze here in Meadow Lake, windmills don't last for ever.
Post a picture of your windmill here once it's finished.

Now that I'm back home for a while, I can also pursue one of my hobbies.
Taking selected pictures of animals and giving them a voice - sort of.  ;D

Here's a sample:


I've been doing this for quite a while:

FEMA Blog: Quake in D.C. Serves As Reminder To Get Prepared

According to United States Geologic Survey, the mid-Atlantic Region of the United States experienced a 5.9 magnitude earthquake this afternoon. Along with the entire federal family, we are closely monitoring the situation and are in close contact and coordination with our federal and state partners in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and the surrounding areas.
 
There are no initial reports of significant damages, but we will continue to coordinate closely with our state and local partners to assess their needs.

Does anyone think that tosh is going to make any XP user uninstall, plonkers. They have their reasons for retaining it and that won't change because of this. What a joke, uninstall XP and make the malware attackers pick another OS to target, pathetic.

The XP market share is also reported as just having dropped below 50%, not the 42/43% in their chart; so I don't know where StatCounter get their stats from.
