One of Those Days

Weather same as yesterday but warmer.

Woke up to a dry throat, blocked nose and sore knee! Not a good start.

The knee I blame on getting through all the submarine hatches yesterday, I think I managed to twist it. The rest I put down to a bout of sinus problems that don’t want to go away.

Shopping day today, so off to Piggly Wigglys to get the goodies, for some reason this week we seemed to have very bare cupboards which was reflected in the cost of the groceries.

Once we got back I dropped into the office and there were 3 parcels there, my birthday came early this year! This should be the last of the “essentials” for the trailer. A WiFi printer / scanner / copier / fax with some ink and an external antenna for the 3g modem stick. The ink was a bargain, the printer takes 1 black and 3 colour cartridges each costing about $10 from the manufacturer. I got 4 Black and 2 each of the coloured ones for $9.50. Ridiculous mark up on the original inks

I got the antenna into place and it was worse than useless, it actually degraded the signal! I looked at where the antenna was and I had managed to place it way too close to my ham radio antennas so I moved it about 6 ft further away and raised it a couple of feet higher and it now seems to work.

Once the antenna was taken care of, it was time to tackle the printer. Suffice it to say, the auto install didn’t. Some 6 hours later I now have it working, how the average Joe Q Public could get this working using the software and instructions provided is beyond me! Anyway, we are now able to print out JoAnn fabric coupons for Lyn(!) as well as print out tour routes etc.

Time to hit the sack and wake up to a better day
