Anyway I decided to <strong>check<\/strong> and I was late on the <strong>FB<\/strong> ticket payment.&nbsp; Not too much , only a few weeks and I could, if I wanted, wait a few more months and <strong>make<\/strong> a full payment before June but I determined to set it up on monthly payments for now and just have it auto charge my CC for that.&nbsp; <strong>OUCH<\/strong>!\u2026 to see 7 games?&nbsp; It will be about $900 for&nbsp; each <strong>seat<\/strong> and we have two\u2026 Now that is not the actual <strong>price<\/strong> but the <strong>price<\/strong> I pay for \u201cbetter\u201d seats.&nbsp; I am not <strong>one<\/strong> of the BIG donors but I do like getting a <strong>bit<\/strong> better <strong>seat<\/strong> than the end zone.&nbsp;&nbsp; Next <strong>month<\/strong> they will probably come out with the BB tickets then the WBB and then the Wrestling\u2026 We spend a lot for all those tickets but that is ok as in the long run it is pretty cheap for the entertainment we get from it.<\/p>\n<p>In this same token I determined that since the toner cartridge is about wasted in the old printer I would just get a new <strong>one<\/strong>.&nbsp; I found some refurbished units from Staples on sale and I had wanted a <strong>color<\/strong> laser for those special times we <strong>need<\/strong> a <strong>color<\/strong> print,&nbsp; so I just bought two.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The total for both was just a <strong>bit<\/strong> over $200 so not too bad for two laser printers.&nbsp; I would of spent over $50 for the new cartridge for the old <strong>one<\/strong> we had.&nbsp; I got those installed last night and tested out, pretty nice.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Today I had some work to catch up on.&nbsp; Got some of my checkbook accounting done and then getting ready for my next big <strong>trip<\/strong> was the focus for me.&nbsp;&nbsp; When I come in from a <strong>trip<\/strong> I pretty much unload everything and pile it up to be washed or what ever.&nbsp; Then 2 weeks later I am hunting all over to find the stuff I thought I had ready but just never got to it.&nbsp; I <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>guess<\/strong> my attitude these days is I would rather not think about <strong>going<\/strong> back out so I just ignore all the associated items until I really have to get with it and prepare. <\/p>\n<p>On the other <strong>hand<\/strong> it was just too nice today to stay in and do all those things I <strong>need<\/strong> to, so I got out.&nbsp; Not all <strong>day<\/strong> but a few hours in the <strong>afternoon<\/strong>.&nbsp; I moved <strong>one<\/strong> pine tree that out of mystery came up in the flower bed and another <strong>one<\/strong> from a pot that has been setting around since Christmas?\u2026 Got both in the ground , now to see if they will live.&nbsp; I also got after the major grass trimming.&nbsp; Not the small stuff but those big decorative clumps we have in several spots.&nbsp; They <strong>need<\/strong> to be \u201cwhacked\u201d down every spring so the new stuff will show up and grow out a little better.&nbsp;
