Do you mean the blood spilled in the previous game had apparently gone bad, despite being on the ice all the time in between?

I think it was one of the Canadian aces who died in an incident like that.

My earlier post was incorrect, the temp was supposed to drop to 5 F (-15 C) last night, not tonight.
It did, and it is.
Besides the 4 feeders I have out, I spread some seeds on the deck for my birdies.

I have seven printers. Four dead ones and three fully functional ones. One is a Canon everyday printer/scanner, one is a Canon photo printer, and one is an HP 24” large format printer for printing CAD drawings.

Re: buying another printer, I've been doing that for years. With the amount of printing I actually do at home, buying a cheap printer for $30 and disposing of it when it is empty is considerably cheaper than buying a new set of black and coloured ink cartridges at $59 each. Consumerism? Money grabbing by ink manufacturers? It's a rediculous situation to find yourself in

I've been buying ink refills on Amazon for my Canon, no problems with them so far.

Not nearly as good as the Red Dwarf series, though!

Pretty corny.

"Pretty corny" is a good description of the series. A brilliant and quirky parody of most things sci-fi.

If you don't print enough to empty the cartridges, yes. But a new printer never has full cartridges.

For the Epson I have there's isn't that much of a difference in price so I just go with the originals. I'd like to think the extra money might give me better results that doesn't fade too quickly.

Working at The Big Shed today. Started at 3 am, doing traveler work, actually in The Big Shed, not out in the spar shop, eh?

Just wrapped up first break, time to get back at it.
