Spring has arrived! We were besieged yet again, but for once the marksdorfs actually did their job, killing all of the goblins that attempted to enter the fortress, which was quite fortuitous seeing as both other military squads were off drinking during the siege. I believe we've reached a sort of milestone in the history of our fortress with the latest artifact, an oaken casket with an image of a dwarf striking down a goblin.
Beyond that, all was calm in Jackbolt; I began work on a dam when the water froze, but could only complete half of it; the lever for its floodgates (not linked yet) is in the little courtyard over the brook.
Over the course of my turn the following things have been accomplished/happened independent of my interference:
First floor smoothed and partially engraved.
Animal population fairly well decimated, lag is much improved.
Food/booze stockpiles brought up from next to nothing, and continue to be filled.
Quite a lot of exploratory mining, so lots of gems and ores.
Three sieges, with minimal dwarven loss.
Three artifacts, three or so marriages, five or so births, and one large wave of migrants.
Things to note:
Mining is on level 142
The two levers near the main stairway on ground level control entrance floodgates (they have notes on them)
Mayor's chambers is on 147
Overall, no megaprojects have been started or worked on, but I'm proud of the stability, neatness, and general organization I've brought to the fortress; and so, now that my duties as ruler are no longer required, I shall spend the rest of my life brightening up the fortress with masterpiece engravings and masterfully crafted barrels.
I've put the save and modded raws, etc. into a new copy of DF so you don't have to modify yours to run the fortress:
