Gratitude for snowblowers…

The PolyBlog
January 4 2015

Gratitude post for day #4…Today I had planned to get up a bit late, drive the cub and wife to swimming and go on to grocery shopping. Unfortunately, I completely forgot about having to clear the driveway this morning. Brutal ice and snow, but not yet frozen, so I’m grateful for that at least. However, mostly I was grateful for the snowblower I was using. I bought it about five years ago at the old house where I had a huge driveway and walkway. I could easily get rid of it with the small area I have now, but honestly, it makes life so much easier that I’m reluctant to part with it. I’d love not to have to worry about space for it, but a couple of times a year it is worth its weight in gold. Today was one of those days.

That’s my single item for today! Onward in the journey…

    By now, most people have seen some form of AI crop up in their tools. The most obvious one is Google’s search engine, which provides results from its AI mode first in the list. You can go pretty far with that prompt, even asking for image creation, although that’s a terrible place to create images … Continue reading →
  • More workplanning on my new Calibre libraryMarch 28, 2026
    I wrote earlier this week (Using Calibre to embrace my inner librarian for ebooks) about the Poly Library 3.0, and when I did, I thought I had most of my “work” done. I had decided on three main areas (the book profile, user engagement, and user tools), although, truth be told, I had four categories … Continue reading →

    For those of you who don’t know, as I didn’t blog about this much before, Jacob decided to have surgery on his legs this year, which he did at the end of February. I’ve held off posting anything as I didn’t want to ask Jacob what he was comfortable with me sharing, but today was … Continue reading →
  • Using Calibre to embrace my inner librarian for ebooksMarch 23, 2026
    I have used Calibre literally for years to manage all my ebooks. It started way back when Kindle was doing a huge business of people pushing freebies of their ebooks. Some good, some slush, all free. But it meant a LOT of ebooks to manage. So I tried a couple of programs, most of which … Continue reading →
  • What would you put in a personal health dashboard / framework?March 8, 2026
    I started this year with a few short plans to work on health factors in my life. Some of it was prescribed; I needed a physical exam for certain pension forms. Others were ones that I was trying to do some proactive work on, like my teeth and my feet. And still others were more … Continue reading →
