I'm not sure your sky is also blue, mine just has scattered clouds as I write this. Temperature is 60 F on Tues at 10 am. (It got up to 70!)

Personal news:
Health is doing ok. Isn't that a relief?
Technology has reared it's ugly head however...
My printer won't print anything. I called the geek squad where I bought it, just 2 years ago, and it's not on warrantee of course. I asked if the ink nozzles might be clogged, which has happened on other printers and they weren't able to be repaired. The ink levels are all good, but nothing happens when I ask it to do print head cleaning. The geek told me I might need a home visit. I asked how much. $99 to start. I laughed (sorry about that) in his face. I can get a new printer for that cost.
I had already gone to the store and purchased new ink cartridges.. The HP users guide is a 5 part document I've saved on my computer, but it didn't really help. But I even learned how to clean the little gold spots with a lint-free cloth on the ink cartridges.
I didn't put the new ink cartridges in.
Why?
Well, let's just say I wanted to weigh the cost of a new printer against the $41.00 I'd just spent on ink.
I texted one of my sons who has helped me with computer issues before. But after an hour and second text with no answer, I went on line to see what was available, new printer-wise that is.
I saw one that has all the bells and whistles, at the same store, for $59.00.
Right.
I ordered it, (a big decision without the moral/tech support of my son) as well as the 4 year geek warrantee (for $20) which says it will replace it if it fails. Sounds like I can take my ink back, and basically get this one free. Well, whenever the credit comes through for the ink. And they'll deliver the new one free. It's an Epson, and I'm tossing the HP.
The main problem is that I seldom print out anything. So the nozzles (or whatever) get dried up. The Epson's ink is more expensive too. But maybe it will be more user friendly...I now have to learn all the silly symbols that the LED screen will tell me. See you in the funny papers!

Printers can be a royal pain. It’s 21F here at 5:30am. The house goes down to 59 overnight. I don’t know how low it would go if we didn’t keep the thermostat there. I do tend to get a wee bit cold, or at least I was at4:30 when I decided that no further sleep would be had.
ReplyDelete...thanks for the reminder of what a blue sky looks like.
