Tag I'm It!!

I got tagged yesterday my MESA (a health study group) for a sleep study, have been doing this for about 15 years. Will have to wear this fancy watch for a week then they will come get the watch and download all the data.  It looks like the phone watches you see on eBay if your on a GSM network (AT&T or T-Mobile or phones that use their network). 
 I finally got this old computer to work, I ran some tests on it, figured  out that the memory was way to low and the hard drive was just stopping.  I had an older ide drive that was newer than this one so it was bigger and faster.  I hooked up my cable, transferred the systems I needed to run this computer than spent the last two days updating it.  I saved the hot fixes I needed in an email file on line so was able to run updates that are of date and not available.
The one thing about this old laptop is that it puts all it's heat out the bottom, great if you like a hot pad and don't want kids.

Cost of ink

I figured out that ink for my printer costs over $11000 a gallon, the little cartridges are $13 each.  I decided to try continuous ink system with the ink costing 3 cent a ml instead of $3 per ml. The jars just sit along side of the printer and is filled there, the ink is sucked into the print heads through the little pipes.
This is the ink jars, you can see the pipes that go around to the front.

This is a photo of the ink cartridges that the pipes connect to, see how they run under the snaps that hold the ink cartridge in place, the cartridges are made the same as the originals but are clear and have the hoses hocked into them.  
        From $3 a ml to 3 cents a ml, boy I love to save money....canyoudougit????

Well the old mower works great, I am lucky both mowers use the same parts, even though one is 26 Years older.

WHAT A TERRIBLE DAY!!!

Usually we get something interesting for the parade, like the rapture centers, but this year we got Machell Backman.  I think she is a crazy person and can not stand her.  They are throwing things around our yard and complaining because the grass is wet.  Rich republicans piss me OFF!  I hope they get sun burned!!

Got It Running

 From this to all together and running really well.
 We can not remember if we bought this in 1976 or 1977 but either way it sure is nice to have it running.
So it cost me $8.50 for the tune up kit from Ace Hardware and I had to check YouTube to figure out how to remove the flywheel correctly.  YouTube helped a lot, thanks.  Canyoudougit
We are enjoying the day, the weather seems perfect under the tall pines.
