So football is dumb and and I realize they treat their players like trash, etc but civic pride has taken over the past few weeks and me and the 11 year old calf went all in on the Bills.
15 years ago I would be floored and unresponsive all day. However today I am joyful for the embraces my son and I shared. The high fives, waking up mom and sister with cheers. Laying into he floor after it was all done telling him he doesn't have to like sports just because I do. Him telling me he will stay up as late as he needs to so he knows I am ok.
Bills lost last night but some pretty great parenting memories were made.
me and the 11 year old calf
/counts on fingers
What the hell?! 11?!
Where do you think I have been all this time?
He's got you there, McGoo
But I just saw him. I only moved away from Buffalo like 2 or 3 years ago
[Narrator: It was nearly 9 years ago]
My daughter will be 9 in July!
The baby from the baby shower I just attended?
in my head for some reason I'm hearing the narrator in Idiocracy
I wasn't happy the Chiefs and Bills played each other this early. Those were probably to the two most fun teams in the playoffs. Sucks they couldn't both go forward. What a game though.
Yeah, by the time that game came around, my rooting interest was in whichever team won that game. Though the Bengals are cool.
so, another Tale of First World Problems
I have a Canon Pixma G6020 printer at home. Periodically, it refuses to print color (at all). I am now back in one of these periods. As this is the printer that my wife depends on for all her work-related printing, she has charged me with "fixing" it again.
I've done all (I think) the obvious things, like doing a nozzle check and head cleaning, turning it off and turning it back on again, and updating the driver (although effing Windoze makes it unduly difficult to actually verify what driver version is installed). No soap.
I occasionally have gotten an error code, which the manual very helpfully defines as a "print error code". Gee, thanks, that's informative.
Any helpful suggestions? I've tried printing to this (wifi) printer from two different machines (work laptop and ancient home desktop) with no progress. The nozzle check print pattern does the black ink perfectly, and the rows that should have color patterns are completely blank and dry, including after the "cleaning" and "deep cleaning" routines.
This printer is only like 18 months old, so I would be Very Unhappy if it were toast.
Let me know how you fix it -- asking for a friend.
I ran the "print head alignment" and am now running the "ink flush" function for the non-black inks. We shall see whether it does anything constructive.
the "ink flush" function did the trick. It does use up a lot of ink. Eyeballing, it looks like it used about an eighth of each tank. But I got colors to print again. Oy.
Maybe we just aren't printing color often enough?? I dunno.
Something like that was my next suggestion when I saw "tank" below. Sounds like maybe crusties in the line?
seems like. I'm starting to think that maybe I need to print a test page once a week or more often to just make sure the lines aren't getting too gunked up from lack of use.
Not to be obvious, but there is ink in the color cartridges, right?
Frankly that was my first thought too. You may want to at try new color cartridges and see if that fixes the issue. At least it takes on more item off the list.
this model has big(ish) ink tanks for each color. And yes, each is more than half full.

today has been a boy-cat-needs-a-lap day, pretty much all day.
Time for that trope to go away.
