My Dell Color Laser 3100cn, commonly referred to here as “the Tank”, has been having issues printing full page color pictures lately. Today when I had family around and they were waiting for prints of pictures it was decided (by Chris) that it was time to fix it. The two issues occurring most were a […]
One of my new gadgets this year is an infrared surface-read thermometer. I am presently trying to find a guide book or other resource that indicates the ideal external serving temperature for common foods. I don’t want to know internal temps so much as I want to know surface temps, but I can probably figure […]
