TV is broke, but printer is fixed
Yesterday the TV suddenly decided to produce static instead of the crappy sound it had been producing. There's still a picture and we get sound off the DVD player. I spent far to much time last night messing with cables to no avail. I finally gave up and hooked up the TV from my room. Which actually has pretty good sound, but is small and the picture is crappy instead.
We've had problems with the sound before and it was usually caused by an inadvertent push of a button on the remote which did something funky. Unfortunately, I don't know where the remote is -- although it is possible one of the cats does. So I unplugged it. I'm hoping after letting it sit for a bit it will be as easy to fix as the printer. I found a web forum and tried the easiest suggestion, which worked like a charm and I now have black print again. The fix? I changed the media type from plain paper to photo paper.
And speaking of broken things. Here's an example of the way my life tends to go. I finally acquired a new dryer after being without one for years and would you believe the next day the washing machine broke? Well, not really the machine itself, I guess. The water line sprung a leak, which is easy to fix, but it still renders the machine unusable. See, I simply can't win! But I just had to laugh when I discovered it.
