    HURRICANE IRMA

    Well I've started to prepare. I'm not normally the type of person to buy something that I don't know when I'm going to use it but I am the type who likes to have the right tool for the job when I need it. I've purchased a generator interlock kit for my breaker box as well as a 30A twist lock inlet box. This will allow me to plug the generator into an outlet on the side of my house and power most everything inside. http://www.geninterlock.com/product/generator-interlock-kit-square-d-qo-homeline-150-200-amp-panel-transfer-switch/ http://www.geninterlock.com/product/30-amp-125250-volt-l14-30-4-prong-4-wire-transfer-switchgenerator-extension-cord-and-30a-generator-inlet/ 2nd thing is of course the generator. It was a tough call trying to juggle cost vs power size. In the end I realized I had the money and we're only talking about $200 difference. I went with the bigger Generac generator, 7500watts. I may not be able to power my central AC with it but with this size I'll be able to have 2 window AC unit going and still have hot water. https://www.powerequipmentdirect.com/Generac-5943/p5508.html This has also given me the idea to build a shed off the side of my house to store it as well as some things out of my garage. I love a good project like this. Something like this. I'm not going to be caught off guard again. Me and my family will be very comfortable if we ever lose power again. Question........... At what point are you considered a "Prepper" LOL

    HURRICANE IRMA

    I'm back on-line........... It's been a very LONG and emotional 5 days. My county got ROCKED! I got to the hospital around 5pm Sunday to work the storm crew. The hospital lost power about 10pm Sunday night and we ran on generator for 12 hours. I worked throughout the storm making sure medical equipment was working correctly and making rounds. Finally got to go home around 5pm Monday. We lost power at the house around 2am Monday morning according to my neighbors. I was able to borrow a generator from a friend who didn't lose power but gas has been very hard to find. We've been running a flood light, the frig, and 2 fans ,very sparely, for days. I didn't have extension cords to run anything else. I had a very emotional 34 week pregnant wife. Between waiting 3 hours for gas, 2 hours for a decent cooked meal, crappy cell service, and hot sweaty nights it's just been long. I finally broke down and cried yesterday when my wife sent a selfie of her smiling and swimming at a friends house. It's been too long since I have seen her smile like that. Just really disappointed in my self for not being more prepared knowing in the future I'm going to have a little one to look out for also. Eye opening experience on what we take for granted. Everything you would need is GONE: Gas, Gas cans, water, food, extension cords, You name it. And places can't get trucks in to restock. You can't go anywhere because there's no telling when you're going to be able to get more gas. Restaurants might have power back on but they had to throw out all their food and can't get a truck in to restock. 1/2 mile long lines to get gas at only a few stations with both power and gas. Gas stations running out of gas often. All of our utilities are run underground so I didn't think it would take so long to restore power. For the future I've already purchased a generator for myself. I'm ordering the parts needed to wire it into the house electrical system. Need to buy gas cans to have on hand. I'm making a better list of food items we'll need. And now because we have a generator the list can include cold food. I'm also going to find a cheap window AC unit to run in a bedroom while we sleep. I'm just over it all....... Looking at the power company's restoration map it was looking like a few more days before we were going to get power back on. There was no planned restoration happening in my area. Thankfully after topping off the generator and firing it up around 8pm the power came on about 15 seconds later. I've learned my lesson......

  8. Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent priced color laser printer. I'm completely over these damn epson printers. I try to use them as often as I can and still I get clogged nozzles. I use ONLY genuine epson ink. I've cleaned them probably 10 times and I can't get a clean print. I'm tired of spending money on a new printer every year. Anyone else got a laser?

    I give up with these damn printers

    I'm going to be ordering some of the paper soon. I'll let you know. HP and brother printers weren't recommended but canon printers are. That's one of the reasons I went with it.

    I give up with these damn printers

    Yea, not long enough. I've had 3 epson printers and each one works great till the first cartridge change, then I start having clogged print heads. The WF7620 was able to clean them for a few months but in the end I still had to replace it. 1st printer I used cobraink cartridges 2nd and 3rd printers I only used epson ink. I spent last night running clean heads continuously and it never cleared. I went through a brand new high capacity black cartridge and emptied it. (I figured WHY not give it a try since I was replacing the printer anyways) hopefully your experience is better then mine.

    I give up with these damn printers

    Well this is what I came up with. I'm picking it up after work. It's a suggested brand with any of the laser transfers you can buy over at USCutter so I'll have to give that a try. Toner isn't the cheapest around but there's NO INK to dry up. If this means I no longer have to deal with clogged inkjet heads I'll take it. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/canon-color-imageclass-mf632cdw-wireless-color-all-in-one-printer/5746102.p?skuId=5746102

    Help with dryfit / polyester shirts / shorts

    I had the same problem with some fruit of the loom dry fit shirts. Never could figure out how to fix it. I had to switch to a lighter grey color shirt for my customer.

    vinyl falls off supply rollers

    Where else are you going to put that 10 ft of vinyl you just rolled out?

    vinyl falls off supply rollers

    Roll off about 10 feet into the catch basket. So by the time it's done cutting it never pulled anything off the roll.

    Pricing Numbers on clothing

    Who is providing the shirts? If they are buying the shirts from me and I'm making a profit on the shirts then I would cut alittle slack on the labor. Also keep in mind folding and organizing time.

    I'm willing to paypal someone who can help me. I need this sheriff star vectored into a black and white image. I'm going to be laser engraving and used on an edge lit sign. The center of the star can be simplified also. I don't need alot of details. Any takers?

    Cutting smoothly

    A couple of my ideas Upload they file so some of us can take an in depth look at is. Rotate the B 90* and cut it. See if the waves move from the horizontal lines to the vertical lines. If they do move and the horizontal lines are straight now the problem is with your file. If they don't move and it's still wavy on all the horizontal lines then I'd be looking into a hardware problem.
