Dorothy's talk about her son's visit reminded me that a friend of mine has said a couple of times that she would see me in December. So I called today to find out when (late) and while we were at it we discussed her connectivity issues (new Internet Provider and a service tech who never set up her printer). After many calls she's unwilling to pay for another service call, so while we talked on Messenger I had her point her phone at her computer and I told her what kind of cable she needs. She'll order it from Amazon this evening (it's the standard USB 1 cable many older printers use). $6 is a lot less than a service call.

I managed a nice declutter this afternoon—I stepped across the street to say hello to my friend the handyman who is putting up a fence for that neighbor. The previous fence installer had used wood for some, and on others cut a foot off each metal post and buried them only a foot deep so they all needed replacing. I mentioned that I had some metal fence posts from taking down an old fence in my back yard and after setting aside three for my gate project I sent the remaining six posts across the street. He had bought some for one stretch of the fence but still needed several more. He insisted he should by them so I asked $20 for the six. The new ones he's using are lighter gauge, the heavy ones I just supplied I looked up - they cost $30 each new. Wow. I'm glad to have them out of the way. These had been stacked next to the garage in the back yard and weeds grew around them so it's good to have them gone and they'll be working for my neighbor.
