I know glad I came home for lunch.

Okay, now that I'm caught up on this thread it's time to take a break from my break and go see what my mom has for lunch.

I'll be glad to send you some, Jim. Send me a PM as to how many tins & where to send.
My DH has to have his Mickey Mints!!

You can pay me back with a Kungaloosh or two when you get down this way in October!!

Thanks, Deb, but I just called Andy my Disney connection and he's on the job. You may still stop by for a Kungaloosh anytime I am at the Fort, however.

Just made our reservations through AFVC for 11/7 thru 11/14. I'll just miss you. Debbie can pick one up and save it for me and I'll send her some good beer to give to you.

I thought you were going to shoot for the end of October. Oh well. I get emails from AFVC but never used them - do you book through them often?

 

[ntsammy5]

We had some October conflicts so we had to change it. This is the first time I've ever used AFVC -- thought I'd do a cheap trip this time. Maybe even got to Sea World for a day!

It might look better in Crimson....

I would be excommunicated from my family and divorced if it was in crimson.

FYI... walgreens are now filling ink jets and to promote this April 20 they are doing them free for the day..

 

[AuburnJen92]

I figured WoD would be my best bet.

I actually got some replacements (one was destroyed when the tire blew on the trailer last summer) at the discount hallway in DDD. It is that place next to the Pooh store and it has something like deals under 10 bucks. I always pick up extras because they tend to fall off, even without tire pieces hitting it!

 

[AuburnJen92]

I was just thinking the same thing!! Glad you upgraded to the newer style headlights.

Yeah, I got HALLOGENS now! Disney security was constantly harassing DH, so I took it upon myself to rewire the headlights and install new ones. I love DH, however, his specialty is computing, not mechanics. He is learning, the RV ownership makes you learn plenty.

oh, and by the way, if your cartridge fails their ink test, it is FREE and still works in your printer!!! I have gotten two free ones so far!

Ink jet cartridges are really not made to be refilled. I know that the cost of new ink cartridges can make it sound good, but you need limit the number of refills that you make with one cartridge and you should expect your print quality to degrade each time they are refilled. The print head in an ink jet cartridge actually suffers some degradation with every printing. If any design can be called planned obsolescence, ink jets fit the bill perfectly. The design of an ink jet cartridge has the ink (relatively corrosive) passing through a semiconductor IC that is the print head. The corrosiveness of the ink erodes the head away until it eventually fails completely.

I've tried getting three different types of cartridges refilled, and every time it hasn't worked very well. The first time was with a Dell cartridge, and it didn't work at all. The second time was with an Epson and it worked for a couple of documents, then ran out again right away. The third time, I don't remember what kind it was, again didn't work at all.

DH thinks that maybe our problem was that we let them run completely dry before trying to refill them. Maybe if they're not completely empty, it would work better.

 

[ynottony99]

I service some Walgreens. I am surprised they are doing this again. Last time it was quite a nightmare. I have been told that if the cartridge has been sitting around empty for a while, the chances of it working are slim. I gave up and just buy new.
