HP Ink Delivered

When I got the HP printer more than five years ago I signed up for the smart ink program. I used to do a lot of printing of my digital art to hang in the wagtime shop. The printer is connected to HP on line and ink is automatically sent when it detects when the level is low. Then you recycle the cartridges in an envelope they provide. It’s been over three years since a cartridge has been replaced and the print quality has deteriorated. So I contacted HP a to let them know. We had a chat and a few QA actions were taken. The ink status showed there was plenty left. Ultimately they determined to send me two new ink cartridges. They both arrived and have been installed. The print quality is excellent. What I realized is that my printer is no longer available and I am surprised they sent the ink. I pay $1.99 for 15 pages a month and that is rarely achieved. I liked the idea of not having to go out and buy ink cartridges when the supply would run low. I’m surprised the ink supply lasted as long as it did because we rarely print anything anymore, but I’m glad we still can when we need to. 

A Rainy Day at Costco Beats the Total Wine Store and Macy's

We were thinking about getting our wine restocked and look for some pants to wear around the house when our friend called to say she was making a run to Costco. We became members in November and haven't been back since because we have such a tiny space and the stuff lasts for quite some time. We have toothpaste and razors to last for two years! But since it was a lousy day and we wanted to get a few things anyway, we decided to go. The Christmas decor has all been replaced with spring goods - Easter chocolate bunnies and eggs replaced the Christmas trees and ornaments. I was running out of ink for my printer and decided to get some cartridges, and the wine was selected without difficulty. I could spend a lot of time checking out all the other stuff there, but we needed to be back home for a house appointment. Probably the best part of this outing (aside from the wonderful company) was finding our favorite cheese - P'tit basque. On the way to the check out we noticed a slew of pants just waiting to be taken. So we sorted through them and found two pair. At that price you simply can't go wrong. The parking lot seemed a lot busier than the amount of activity in the place and by the time we got out it was relatively quiet compared to Christmas time. So we are once again well stocked with napkins and Kleenex - and pants! - but need to remember to bring our own bags the next time. One of these days we will get the hang of it.
