The Official Status Update Thread: Part 149 - The Winter That Wasn't

[GregD]

Last night when I was driving home from Valparaiso it was 32 and chunks of slush were falling. I was going 65 mph in a 70 zone on I65 (right lane, of course) and cars/semis were absolutely blowing past me.

They were trying to get home before it got bad.

Sidewalks were really slick here this morning, and there was talk on FB about how slick the roads were. Not raining here at least but the roads were quite wet from all of the rain yesterday. When we came home from Michigan City last night, it was getting really foggy too. I'm sure that hazy mist created a nice layer of ice on the roads as it froze overnight.

That huge pile up they had on I74 Tuesday this week......My Wife had been on 74 about 20 miles before the accident site and said a FedEx double tractor-trailer blew by her in near white-out conditions...The accident happened about 15 miles later and 15 minutes later, wonder if this guy caused it??

She got off I74 an exit before where the big crash happened....

The FedEx doubles are always flying.

 

[Snapdragon]

Yeah, a couple of doubles blew past me last night. They were some trucking company, not FedEx.

I was relieved to see that was not MrsG's store.....https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...venience-store-clerk-shot-killed-nothing.html

 

[GregD]

I've got a few things to get done and it sure is dark out.

 

[SEIndSAM]

[SEIndSAM]

Bacon is always a good idea.

Run run run.

And.....my Epson printer just got launched across the room.
I loaded it with 4 new ink cartridges.
It went bat crazy and dumped the entire load.

It did this last summer but seemed to set itself right again after a hard reboot.
Aster wasting $120 (2 loads) of ink I kind of lost it and basically punched it out.
Trashed.........

Now, what do I replace it with.....?????

I had an Epson that used a lot of ink, have a Cannon now.

It sucks! I punched my last last laptop when it froze one time.
That killed it good.

Hi Sylvain

Back soon

 

[GregD]

The road in my addition was slick, everything else was dry.

I have a color laser printer (Samsung, I think? I'm not at home now). Costs more initially, but seems like you get more copies for the money on ink.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Printers are such a PITA......I have an HP and I just load it with black ink now. There is really no reason for us to print anything in color.

If the wife or daughter want photo prints, they can just order them from CVS just up the street.

 

[jagee]

Ugh. Tires. The Mrs ran over something a while ago and got 1 new tire. Now, that same tire has a nail in it. The other 3 need replaced so I sit and wait. 1 patch, 3 new ones. $540

I feel your pain... When the daughter hit that culvert a couple weeks ago, she took out both the tires on the pass side....They were a month-6 weeks old...

Never just replace 1 tire. It throws the whole duty cycle off.

I just tried to make some reduced copies of my new stamps. First one came out ok. Second one came out as a blank paper with about one line of print on it. I walked away disgusted and defeated.
