Tom found a power cord that worked for Mom's old printer - but without the software disk has no way to get it running.  However yesterday Cheryl posted that she had some things (including a printer/scanner/fax) that she was giving away, so we rendezvoused midway yesterday (even though I was more than willing to drive to her house to pick it up!)

Now I'm just waiting for Tom to get a chance to hook it up.  He got more trimming and some mowing done yesterday afternoon, and last night relaxed while we watched a movie (The Fugitive) on TV.  I'd seen the movie several times, most recently while back in Maryland this past Fall, but this time there were 'notes' at the bottom of the screen that gave all sorts of wonderful insight into the making of the movie.

Today's he's knapping with Kaye and Barry (hope they manage to stay warm out in the shop!) and Teresa is 'tagging along' so we'll get to hang out together!  Haven't seen her in ages (since she retired? and has been BUSY going here and there, mostly with the horses.)  Glad I don't have to go out today; it's a cold, slimy day and just perfect to just hang out!  Raining here, although the snow level is predicted to be low enough that there could be a dusting of snow in  nearby Carefree/Cave Creek!  Of course the ski resorts are getting slammed, with a possible 2 feet (!) of snow expected.  

Alex and friends were planning on heading up to Flag today (he has no classes on Wednesdays) for a day of snowboarding, but I'm really hoping they don't.  Even IF the roads are even passable (which is questionable!) it's still bound to be a driving nightmare.  And just because they have a big 4X4, that doesn't mean they're won't run into problems, or guarantee that another idiot on the road doesn't cause problems for them.  

And now I'd better get dressed before Teresa arrives  :-)

Stay warm and dry today!
