...I have 4 old cars, 2 of which have a tire with a slow leak. I often air them up when I fill up with gas but today both cars are full and one tire is low so I check and fill all tires that are a little under inflated with my compressor at home. Its good to check your tires once in a while....

It's good to replace your tires, too. Otherwsie, you are inviting trouble. IMO, tires are the most important part of a car because the whole shebang, including your life, is, literally, riding on those few square inches that touch the road.

Thur, 82 Fri. 87 Sat. 81 I'm going shooting tomorrow
I haven't used my printer in maybe as long as a year and a half. Its out of ink and my sister bought me some re manufactured ink cartridges for my birthday a year ago, they are in sealed plastic bags. I wanted to print my airline instructions, I guess that's your ticket, is that right? The printer kept saying paper jam, I couldn't see anything wrong, I read the instruction book and fooled with it for 1 1/2 or 2 hours and gave up in dispare thourgally aggravated and upset.
As little as I use printers I'm done with them, ridiculously expensive ink that dries up, and I always feared the finicky thing. Maybe someday someone will be here who is a computer genus and can get it going. I wonder if they will get computers so the average person can use them before I'm too old to care, in 20 years I'll be 90.
I plan to hand copy my airline instructions by hand just as they emailed it too me. will that be acceptable?

I suspect that all of your printer problems are directly related to that lack of use.

You will probably just have to check in at the counter.

Kinda explains why I'm being sequestered at my job. Someone's got to pay for all those Obama phones.

Sequestered... count your blessings.
I hit 60+, couldn't get past the front door. Took an early retirement.
One of these days I gotta look into getting a "Reagan Phone".

The other photo was an abandoned train depot in Poland. Any guesses on this one? This photo kind of whispers steam, doesn't it?

Cheyenne, WY, 650 ton Union Pacific coal bunker? I ate lunch across the street from that one in 1953. When leaving the yard with a train, one of the big boy locomotives lost traction in one set of wheels going through a switch (turnout). I found the noise from madly spinning drivers and huge exhaust note quite frightening at eleven years of age.

Jon,
If you didn't whats -his-face might not get to go on a trip.
I wonder how much jet fuel your 11 days of pay would buy?


I know it's not this simple,OK?
