Dan has been printing photos that he wants to keep, he is old school, not trusting computers, and has certain ones he wants hard copies of. My computer screen shows nice crisp pics but when sent to my printer they come out much darker. He ends up going through my black ink and asks me to fix the problem. Not being extremely fantastic with this technological stuff, I try a few things, get frustrated, then turn to google. Others seem to have had the same issue. My printer is a Hewlett Packard Color Laser Jet Pro M477 series and most posts about this very same problem say that I need a Firmware update. I do the download, but cannot test to see if the problem is cured as I need to get black toner in town.

I work around the house for a few hours doing odds and ends then make a run to a friends house. They are moving and cannot take everything with them. I have been offered all the pavers and decorative block that I want so I have been making a few trips getting them as well as some other things for the farm. Today's trip I pulled a peach tree that was recently planted, they were worried that it would die while the house was being put back on the market, so I dug it up and put it in a large planter for the winter, it will get put in the orchard come spring. The dogs also were gifted an igloo dog house. While I was out I had to buy gas for the generator and truck - there goes $75!

Before we moved I had found bags of batteries at a local thrift store. One of the employees told me they were from Walmart from when packages broke. The batteries where wrapped with packing tape to not allow the contacts to touch metal and drain so I figured could be a good deal. I bought this entire bag for around $6 then put it into storage and forgot about it for two years. I had been buying batteries in the mean time and when I unpacked this box, my eyes glazed over - DUH! What an idiot! Luckily not all the batteries were bad and I could still salvage them though the packing tape is really stuck on now. In the end I still ended up saving money. A total of 10 D's, 9 9V, 10 AA, and 31 AAA Whew!

Did do some work on Native American Pottery restoration. This Fremont pot is in to be worked on and is now a little over 50% done. Another layer of patching material, fine sanding, then painting is still left to be done. For more information on pottery restoration visit: rarepottery.info/protect/ArticleRestorationEnhancement.htm

Made an early dinner, fed the animals, gathered eggs, grabbed a shower and hit the road. Had to go to Office Max to get the black ink before going to the Southern Arizona Beekeeper's Association Meeting. This presentation was on winter projects and equipment.
