It’s 10:30 as I prepare this message. We have weak sunshine and the day promises to be nice. I spent some time surveying the yard and discovered the soaking wet box of old books. I mistakenly thought “under the awning” and “under a plastic tablecloth” would be sufficient. I’m afraid to check the tarp shelter for fear many other boxes are wet–or moist. This “downsizing” endeavor is so discouraging!!

“Heaven help me!!” was my plea (at 1:30 PM) as I wrapped the printer/scanner in a large plastic trash bag and moved it to the extremely overcrowded storage building. Last week, I moved the printer from my living room to the patio with the intention of throwing it into the dumpster. Strangely, it did not get wet in yesterday’s rain. I attempted to remove (salvage) the ink cartridges but unable…. As I “messed” with the Epson Workhorse, it seemed to be working OK. I decided to keep it long enough to attempt a BIG scanning project. (That’s a “down the pike” project!!)
