Thanks again skb. I did get a better photo that I emailed to Wally.

4,851 steps yesterday.

I did expect more, but I guess factoring in the travel time to and from the dr and the waiting room time, I'm not surprised. I did do a little grocery shopping but that is all. I saw the cutest little black bunny munching on grasses next to the train track by the grocery store. I wish I had taken a photo. I hope it is a feral and not someone's escaped pet.

Today my friend is coming over to heat wrap my under the house water pipe by the filter. Then I am going to do some organizing in the garage to make room for my car to pull in this Winter. That is going to be quite the tax because it is the big pile of boxes we moved from the kitty side of the garage. Fortunately since my friend took all her tools home I have several shelves and carts to move the boxes to now.

Well, today I decided that I have been 'inactive' for quite sometime and hopped on to my Treadmill and the home gym for sometime. Nothing worth recording or mentioning but I just wanted to move my joints a bit.

5,697 steps yesterday.

My friend wasn't up to coming over yesterday. I had already dragged out the insulation from the garage and the heat tape and extension cord. Decided to leave the insulation boards out by the filter as the weather looked good. Well, overnight the forecast changed to snow this morning. go figure. Hope it isn't much and stops quickly. She's coming today to get it finished.

Did some chores inside, changed bedding and even got out the down comforter. Not much else on agenda for today.

I have pretty much decided I am just going to get a new regular cartridge printer.  I can get a decent, for my purposes, on Amazon for $50-$75.  The Epson has been problems since the get go and I just don't see throwing more money at it for a new cable too.  I may just drive up to Best Buy tomorrow and get one there. At least then I can just take it back , no hassle, if there is a problem.

What I find interesting is my model isn"t offered on Amazon any more. Something like it doesn't meet their standards. They list: Quality/price, Reliable delivery, and seller offering good customer service. The Quality part is telling....

Sorry your printer didn't work out Barbara. I have had really good luck with mine so Epson must have really messed up on this model. When I bought mine it was more expensive but I wanted some of the features it had and decided to pay more for it to get them and it worked out well but they seem to have really cut out a lot to get the price down. I do print a lot and I have never had a problem with any clogging so maybe that is part of the reason.

Yeah, some days peanuts, some days shells....  It is a lower priced model than you got for sure. I don't print a lot, but I generally print a few pages a week. I would think that would be enough to keep the nozzles clear. It was only about 6 months of use before the first color stopped printing and I did the maximum number of nozzle cleanings at a time they recommended to no avail. Then with in a few months 2 more colors stopped printing even though I was regularly cleaning the nozzles. I just think this particular model/my printer was a lemon and my bad luck I got it. The printer cost me $180, in Sept last year, I would expect better of it.

But I'm not going to waste any more time on it. I remember saying when I first got it and had so much trouble getting it set up that I wanted to throw it out the window...now I wish I had and moved on right then!
