Juicing the Housecleaning

To juice something is to enhance it or get it started.

Today we are juicing the housecleaning with the help of one of the aides from school. We are paying her to "help" us clean the house.

It really works. Sue participated more before and during the housecleaning chores. I did some of the really nasty stuff.. because you really don't want to reveal that kind of mess to someone that doesn't live in it.. cat boxes, around the toilet.. In the mean time while she is cleaning Sue is picking up stuff.. granted it is very difficult for her to pick something up off the floor.. but she is doing some of that. I am taking the recyclying stuff to the limited places that collect the stuff. This morning there was a significant line to do that.. an all of the tops had to be off the plastic bottles. Its not such a hard thing when you have a little.. its kind of major when you have a lot.

So having some one juice the activities multiples the success greater than the mathematical inclusion of one more helping to clean the house.

The first thing that she did was dig into the public areas and their floors. Boy was that needed. Of course there were ancillary projects that arose off of that.

I have been having difficulty getting some decent prints from my printer.. and Dad was right as usual, you just have to print a great deal on the Epson 2200 to keep the heads from clogging.

Yesterday I replaced three cartridges.. the biggest change occured when I changed the magenta cartridge and the yellow. It was trying to print everything with the light magenta.

Suddenly the rusty sculpture on the Malacon of Puerto Vallarta was actually rusty looking. I have some very nice photos of the girls and the public sculpture. Its amazing what these little cameras can do. The first one I had was a sony mavica.. it tried to reinvent photography. The big feature was the photos could be storeed on a plastic computer disc. The ones that the first macs sort of invented.

My latest is a neearly undistructable canon SD 790 IS Elph. A no visible plastic model. It takes credible movies as well as 10 mega pixel photos that match pretty closes the 14x19 paper that I run in the epson 2200. When it works.

Have a great Saturday
