GESO (6) - Spring Cemetery stroll

These were my favorites. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/March-2023/Woodland-Cemetery-3-6-23/ (K-5, DA 50-200) Comments always appreciated.

Re: epson 2400
One of the things that many people don’t realise is that whenever the print heads go through a cleaning process, they do it by squirting ink through the heads. The ink falls out of the bottom and into ‘wells’ usually packed with foam. These wells become full over the years until ink literally spills out of them and usually gets dragged around by the heads and you find streaks on the paper and all sorts of mess. To empty the wells is simple. You’ll need a plastic syringe. Depending on printer model, I have found one of the best methods is to open the lid, switch the printer on, and as it goes through it’s initial setup process at each power-on event, the heads will move along the rail a short ways - it’s while they are away from the ‘parked’ position that you have your finger on the power switch at the wall - or have someone standing by ready - and just switch off at the wall. This will depower the machine with the heads out of position. I have done this on various printers over the years to no ill effect. After all, there has to be circuitry inside that can cope with a natural power failure without causing damage. You then insert the end of your syringe into each well and suck up all that horrible black mess and empty into a container of your choice. You’ll be amazed at how much ink was sitting there lurking beneath your print heads! Give the area a good mop up with paper towel. To finish, simply power back on and the heads will go through the setup process again and park where they normally do. Some printers you can manually move the heads along the rail while the power is off, but by no means all. Hope this helps someone!

Re: OT Larry & Godfrey - flooding
Thanks for asking! There's been flooding in some areas of Santa Clara County but nothing in my immediate vicinity. It's actually forecasted to be a dry day here, finally, at least until this evening.

Re: OT Larry & Godfrey - flooding
I'm fine at the moment. At the peak the river in my back yard only rose about "halfway to scary", the highest I saw was 12 feet. Earlier this year it was up to about 19 or 20. The heaviest rain we've seen in the past week was about five inches overnight. I do have one friend I haven't heard from who lives on the edge of the evacuation zone down in Pajaro. I've got a collection of snaps on my phone starting 12/31 when my neighbor lost their back deck, it turns out the river was also about 12' above normal then https://photos.app.goo.gl/3ukBdSM3T17gEcXFA The timing is kind of a pain in the ass because the company I work for is moving to Riverside (about 400 miles south) and we do our first load tomorrow, it's supposed to rain heavily today, and there was a whole bunch of work around the house I really wanted to take care of. > On Mar 13, 2023, at 7:42 AM, Paul Sorenson wrote: > > We're seeing a lot of reporting of the CA flooding on the news.
