I might just out and buy a new scanner.

Well ,here in little ole NZ the sun`s shining and that means keeping up with the gardening ,wifey still works full time and so on me own, free to bugger up whatever i care too !! Spent an hour on the bloody phone with my cell provider about lack of reception in our house ,same ole crap answer ,maybe a tree has grown in the way sir (politely told them to find it and chop the bugger down then as the repeater tower`s only 1.5 km away .Currently have to put the phone in a car cradle suckered at the very top of a window,and put the phone on speaker . Picked last of beans ,now going to seed ,and finally heard from our local Jayco dealer that our next new c/vn will now likely b May before delivery .

After breakfast did the edges, mow the small amount grass we have, about 1 hour in total. Looks neat. It is a beautiful day here in Brisbane.
Back to my scanning, today I been playing around the scanner program settings before I go out and buy a new updated scanner. Our 2005 Canon flatbed scanner allows me to do multicrop 3 photos at a time but I now realize it is doing that at 300 dpi hence not good enlargements. So yesterday I played around a bit, the highest my old system allows me to single scan a photo is 1200 dpi. At that setting takes about 1hour to do 40 or so scans but they are better which maybe worth the extra time and effect to do. the photos have gone from kilobytes to megabytes, 2.1 MBs is common.
So my plan now now is go though my family photos and redo any I think is special.
I think I will of earnt a glass of white tonight, my poor truckdrivers brain is struggling.
Craig do you have a modern scanner?
Craig1 said
04:31 PM Jan 22, 2021
Radar, only a Canon Printer Scanner TS6160, about 18 months old and sounds like similar speed to yours, 1200 dpi can be counter productive I reckon, but only you can decide each time. No good for slides or negatives either. I have half looked at the Epson range but I reckon a minimum of V700 at $950 is a big chew . Have lots of 1920 and 30's b & w negatives from my Dad.

Interesting day,, so New Zealand know better in areas with mobil reception, we live near one of those very private schools that has turned out judges, barristers, parliamentary people and a lot of very influential parents, the reception here is very questionable and it will not matter which provider you have.
Our tomatoes have been hit by bugs, pulled them out, it is not a good time to grow veggies here in Brisbane but the grass grows well.
Make the most of your free time because once your lady retires it a different ball game. Enjoy.

Brighton Jetty Classic Sculptures on this week. Nice weather today so went down for a look see. Some great sculptures, and I appreciate there is a lot of work gone into a lot of them, but some are just hellishly overpriced, into the thousands of dollars. But it was a nice day.
How much for the suit of armour, thought I might get it for Yobarrrrrr...
From memory, around the $22 k.
Could be wrong there was quite a few this year over the $20k mark.
Mere pocket money.... He is worth it, isnt he ?

Took a drive to the Sunshine Coast to visit friends, enjoy the visit then decided we would book into accommodation near the ocean, just so I could hear and smell the ocean.
Had a Chinese dinner at the local bowling club which was delicious.

We were looking for an opportunity to visit one of our favourite CPs - Noosa River CP - so I made a call on spec & asked for a site for a min of 1 week & max two weeks during Feb. Imagine my surprise when the Lass replied ' Have just had a cancellation for in 3rd & out 12th Feb"! Even better, the site is one of our preferred ones, with water views and to top it off a good mate has just set up for 3 weeks on a site 3 away from ours. All we need now is for the weather to play the game.
So a rush now to list all that needs to be done (only 2 pages so far) to get the van out from under cover , off blocks & ready to leave next Wednesday, and then get it all done. This includes re equipping the van from a western Qld touring set up to one suitable for a seaside holiday including recovering my fishing kayak from my grandson who lives bayside.
So it's not what did I do today but what am I going to do for the next few days.

When down to the lake to sail my model boat, best Saturday for a very long time, a beautiful breeze sharing it with 9 other saiboats and 6 motorised boats.
A ver warm day here in Brisbane.

Hi to all ,day started well ,i woke up ! ,thats` allways pleasing on a sunny morning here in gods own NZ .Got an e-mail from the lawnmower muffler supplier that part ordered is `on its way`and should arrive today . .An achievement in itself considering i bought the mower in 1997 . All went well with fitting until the very thin gasket fell into . 3 pieces . luckily local hardware shop had a tube of instant gasket, so job no.1 all completed satisfactory.
2. Gave the caravan a de-cobweb and a wash down inc solar panels on roof .,checked tyre pressures etc ,etc . 3. Toms .in tunnelhouse going gangbusters so picked and froze loads more ready for the winter stews .
4. Annoyed the **** out of next doors cat for a while by dangling and pulling a bit of string over the fence .
5 .Well earned rest with a beer ,waiting for the missus to come home, reflecting on another beaut day .
Take it easy people . .

Whenever I go to a medical appointment I always take a good book The hours just fly by.
For a diversion I play with the internet browser on my iPhone.
What did I do today .. Well the plan is ...
Breakfast over by about 10am
Being Monday & at home .. clean the house while SWMBO does the ironing.
Then, begin the job of replacing the railings & bottom rail on the back deck. H3 timber rotted out after 22 years.
When the sun goes down, mow the grass. Needs doing every week in this weather.
Relax with a nice red at about 5.30 followed no doubt by a short snooze after dinner. To bed by midnight

Possibly go check the water injection on Motorhome ? Re wire so I can manually turn it on . Now I have sorted the fault code issues !! 6.5 GM Detroit .

Best treatment for the foot is bathing each morning in very salty hot water. Keep it up for a week or so. Betadine after bathing if you wish. Keeping it dry between salt bathing essential.
cheers .... Dr Cupie
Edit ..
If using a power hedge trimmer, be sure to clean blades & lubricate with Lanolin spray after use. For petrol engines empty out (unleaded 91) fuel after use & let it idle until remaining fuel used up.
My bill is in the mail.

Hi all, hope you are saving up to come see this great little of country of ours now we are soon to be in the same `bubble` . Yeh ,i know, safer to stay home a bit longer eh .
Anyway ,today started ok but had to head out earlier than i would have liked ,missus usually brings me coffee in bed before going to work ,as her work mate who lives just up the road couldn`t start her car ,and so kindly left me the keys to sort .
Flat battery ,but took 30mins to push the bloody thing backwards out of the very narrow junk filled garage(why oh why do people drive forward into the garage which then leaves absolutely no room to even lift the bonnet) before i could get to jump start it from my van .Took for a wee run to charge up .That sorted ,i reversed car into her garage and will have words as to why this is a better proposition in case it happens again .Clutch seems about buggered too so i will become a bearer of more doom later on today .!
A good breakfast was thus earned .
Sun is hot again so put up a bit more shade in the tunnel house to stop my seedlings withering .
Looked through my list of `to do` jobs ,can`t function without a list, and decided that tomorrow would be a better day to complete a few .,so will sit on the deck and have a beer before teatime and the missus gets home .
On the tele watching front i`ve lately been through all the available dvd`s of Morse ,Endeavor and now on Lewis .,and of course `Only fools and horses ` Magic .
Missus currently on binge mode in the weekends catching up with `ER` .
