| Traveling to Boston tomorrow to do battle with a fire breathing printer. I expect to have some time Wednesday and Thursday evening if anyone lives there and is available for a GTG. |

| I'm picturing a scene similar to the "furnace fighter" bit in A Christmas Story, LOL. Steve, covered in toner, swearing away as he does battle with the printer! |

In a friend's high school's copier room there was a cartoon showing a printer/copier with sheets flying out in all directions as a couple of guys looked on. The caption was
"It all started when we ran out of toner and used some fine-ground French-roast instead." |

I have a collection of the cartoons I used to find taped over the copiers. One of my favorites shows a display screen reading "Add toner, or coffee" and the caption was "Just as you always suspected, office coffee and copier toner are interchangable". |

Actually have gotten away from toner based office equipment. I've been supporting industrial inkjet printers for about 4 years now, including when I was up in Chicago and met you. In this case the dealer technician has been there 4 times and can't fix it so I'm going there to provide another set of eyes on the problem. |

I should have thought of you when I was in Warwick R.I. a few weeks ago! Maybe you could show me some of that wonderful seaside you have there? My flight is due to land at Logan between 1:30 and 2:00 pm. So probably 3:30 before I can get out of Boston.
That's all assuming AA has things running on time by now. They've had a lot of delays due to laying off all their flight crews a few months ago. |

Yep, a couple months ago. New-build townhome in the woods. |

You moved? We were just camping at Nickerson a month ago and thought to get in touch to pay a visit. But...you know...the three kids have eaten my brain/energy.
Yo_Spiff, I likely won't get down to Boston this week, but if you are interested in visiting the North Shore (Salem/Marblehead/Nahant area), I'd love to meet up and show you around. Lots of good photo sites (not that anyone would guess by my submissions). Thirty-minute commuter rail train out of North Station (TD Garden) if you don't have a car.

Thanks. Heading back to Tejas tomorrow however, and didn't see your response until now. I'll keep it in mind for when I get this way again. Often my field missions are with only a few days notice, like this one, so no telling when that might be.
I usually have a rent car, except for trade shows and I am typically too busy during those to do anything bu work ans sleep.
