Worst Printer




Did I mention the worst printer I've ever purchased: HP Color LazerJet Pro MFP M277dw?

Good News: it does not go into repair mode--but it halts Windows 10 in its tracks and then causes it to reboot.

Lizzy B's - Delightful Addition to South Huntsville





This week my wife and I ate dinner at Lizzy B's. This day was her grand opening with the Chamber of Commerce earlier that morning--but we came later for dinner.
