🔥 Year of the Fire Horse (The 60-Year Cycle)

The Horse is already known for speed and independence, but the Fire element turns the volume up to ten. Here is a simple way to explain the 60-year cycle to your guests: 

The "Logic" of the Zodiac

Most people know the 12 animals, but the Chinese calendar also rotates through five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. 

• The Math: 12 Animals 
  

  $$
   5 Elements = A full 60-year cycle.
• The Last Time: The last Fire Horse was 1966. Because the energy is so intense, it’s considered one of the most powerful signs in the entire zodiac. 

What the Fire Horse Represents

Tell your guests that 2026 is a year for bold moves.

• Horse Energy: Freedom, travel, and hard work.
• Fire Energy: Passion, creativity, and "heating things up."
• The Vibe: It’s a year to stop overthinking and start doing. It’s high-energy, a bit chaotic, but ultimately very rewarding for those who are brave. 

REMODEL CONTINUED...

 trusses up, windows delivered and roofing plywood on and covered before the BIG rain came.

REMODEL...WALLS and TRUSSES

 

REMODEL...WEATHER DELAY

 We ended up with 4 inches of ice. Mostly from sleet. Lost power for 11 1/2 hours. Glad we had the generator.  Never lost water so the the extra insulation we put in the attic and double wrapped the exterior water line. 

SUN ROOM REMODEL... update

 So here it is January 23, 2026. We got all the windows and door framed in. The windows are in and the rafters are finished. Everybody wanted to deliver this week, but...

We're holding off because a GIANT winter storm is coming in tonight. Rain turning to freezing rain, sleet, thunder sleet, and snow. If that's not enough it will be below freezing from Friday evening until Tuesday afternoon. So approximately 90 hours. 

Our hope is well be able to work a few hours next week and get the siding on and the trusses up and covered.

On a happy note both granddaughters travel volleyball teams won Championship this last weekend. 

I'm continuing my Bible studies. I love learning about God's word.
