My retirement


I have decided to retire and have formally notified my employer.

My last working day is July 9 and I turn 63 in November.

I have been planning for this over the last couple of years and found out a lot about how things work and what I had to do to plan for retirement ad safeguard my savings - so I don't end up in a soup line. I will post under the Diary catagory my adventures...



My corner at work.


My older kid has turned 27


We went to Paesano Restaurant in Knox Ozone and it was very enjoyable. I had the fish & chips with salad - very nice.

We need a new printer

Shopping around for a new printer!
The Brother MFC served us well until the black print head stuffed up :-(
Looks like Canon is the way to go this time...MX or MP series ???

These days I print mainly photo stuff, 6x4 and some A4 so the MP640 looks good:

 



 

However, we still have a need to copy, scan and ocassionally FAX.

The MX870 uses the same print setup as the MP640 (1 picolitre droplets):

 

 

 

Photos should come the same and I don't need CD/DVD printing.

My wifes 60th birthday

A couple of weeks ago...nice bash

Not printing black :-)

Looks like the printhead has dried out.
