Anybody out there have a printer or fax that uses the old HP29 ink jets? I’ve got 6 here, first come, first served. Free for the postage.

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

How much postage do you want?
SamT
Replied . . . . SOLD !
Glad you can use them.
Greg
GReat! Thanks.
Addy's on the way.

Sam,
I haven't heard from you. The Email address I use here is not the same as my work Email. I've tried to send you my work Email through the system here.
All I need is a mailing address, if you want to post it here.
Greg
Greg,I'll send him your work email address.The email through here is spotty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sam, be looking for an email.
Are we there yet ?
Greg,
Something strange is happening.
I sent it to your work addy three times. Twice with your name capitalized and once with it in small letters.
I also sent it to your bt registration addy.
If Lukas doesn't get to you I will post it here as much as I dislike the idear.
SamT
Edit: ps. I got your email from work, thanks to Luka, and it had a different addy than any before, so maybe this one will get to you. Let me know here if it doesn't.st.

I don't get it, Sam. Still nothing. I know my company filters pretty hard, but I usually get everything, although it might be identified as "UCE" (unsolicited commercial Email)
Rather than post here, why don't you just give me a quick phone call at the office number. It's at the bottom of the Email I sent directly to you.
If I'm tied up, just tell Ann or Elaine that I need your address. They'll take it down and give it to me. I don't have voice mail. I am able to get Luka's Email, you might send it to him and he can forward to me.
Have a good weekend.
Greg
Great idea Greg.
Half-jokingly, half-seriously: At work, I maintain that if someone broke in, they shouldn't steal tools or electronics or even used laptops. They should take the stock of inkjet printer and plotter cartridges. Size of a pack of cards. Some go for $50.
That's the truth ! But when they come out with a new printer (every week !) they always go to a different cartridge. The office supply stores stock literally hundreds.
And what is it with this ? New printer, with cartridge, $79.00 - replacment cartridge, $50.00
Kind of like my Dad used to say about Polaroid cameras . . . they could give you the camera if you would just buy the film !
Greg
just like nail guns, some will give you the nailer when you buy a flat of nails.
Welcome to the Taunton University of Knowledge FHB Campus at Breaktime. where ... Excellence is its own reward!
Yeah, but will they also toss in a forklift for moving the nails around?

I can't squish the can open and eat my spinach as it falls from the air straight into my big mouth, thus the fork.

Yup. They sell that brand here, too. I showed it to Ryan at the grocery store one time. He wanted me to buy a can, naturally.
But the fact is, canned spinach is just about as lousy tasting as its reputation, and I didn't want to turn him off something he already likes. So we got a bag of fresh baby spinach instead and made a big whacking salad out of it.
And naturally, too, as soon as he finished eating all that spinach he just had to demonstrate some feats of superhuman strength...like picking me up off the floor....

I like it fresh, boiled till just tender, with salt, butter, lemon juice, sliced boiled eggs, and sweet onions.
Or fresh baby spinach as (or in) a salad.
I'm pushing 50 and my mother got me to eat spinach because of popeye when I was a tyke.
I've ate canned spinach a few times, it's OK on a camping trip.
Take fresh spinach and wash the sand out. Sauté it in butter for no more than 60 seconds, and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve it right quick; it cools off fast. Goes good with roast duck and sweet pertaters....

I'll try that, sounds good! But how come I can never seem to get all the sand out?
Where do you think spinach gets all its mineral content from, anyway?? ;o))
Pick it when it's younger; don't wait till the leaves get all curly. It'll be more tender, tasty, and easier to wash....
If you're not 'growing your own', get the pre-packs of baby spinach in the grocery; they are usually pretty well washed.

Got it, Sam. Thanks, Jeff. Package is going out today. Sorry for all the trouble.
Greg
Quite an adventure in communications.
Thank you Greg, for your patience and generosity.
Many would have given up on giving, long before this.

Wash, spin; wash again & spin dry. Using an actual salad spinner is very helpful (as opposed to using a towel or fabric bag salad drier). You can use a collander in the sink, but you have to toss the greens a lot, and you still have to dry the spinach when you are done.Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
If salad spinners are a tool, I'm getting one.
Sauté it in butter for no more than 60 seconds
Wilt in bacon drippings for about the same time, and garnish with crumbled bacon pieces (like the ones you fried for the grease). Shave on some parmesan with a veg peeler (looks like more, but is less volume than grated).
Bit of watercress or flat-leaf parsley not bad in the mix, either.Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)

That's a keeper.

Yeah, the real trick of it is only using like a tablespoon of the drippings, and having a pan big enough to get all of the spinach in it (a lid will be helpfull in some conditions). It's almost magic to watch, the spinach will seem to lose almost half its volume. It seems to concentrate in flavor in recompense, though.
I may have to dig, I remember having a frozen spinach (so much better than canned) recipe for a neat pesto.Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
My Aunt was a real farm wife. We used to fill the planters with pea seed when we finished planting peanuts in the spring, and we'd have 4 rows of peas to pick, 500 to 600 YARDS long. We'd pick and shell peas, cut okra, all that good stuff.
Aunt used to pick her crop of turnip greens, collards, etc. and WASH THEM IN HER CLOTHES WASHER ! We'd always catch the cycles to fill and spin, but not agitate. She could put a bushel of turnip greens in the washer and spin them out, and all the grit wouls be gone, gone.
It's a salad spinner with an attitude !
Greg

Man, that's a lot of planters, LOL.... I love shucking peas, sittin' on the front porch and yakking with my son, Ryan. He loves peas, but will not eat them unless they came from our garden (or at worst, were bought at the farmers' market still in the pod). No peas this year, dammit. The hares got them all....
As to your aunt using the washing machine to rinse & dry the salad greens, she may have been the first--no way to tell, of course--but she's not the only one to have thought of that. I've used clothes washers to rinse & dry the greens in restaurant kitchens more than once. (The machine being dedicated to that purpose, we removed the agitator completely.)
