We drove down Route 7 and back on Route 2.

Route 7 is flatter but we went through Troy, which was no fun.

Route 2 was clear all the way but mountainous.

The appointment was a bit of a bust. Ron’s ears are so plugged with wax that the tech couldn’t do a hearing test. He did drop off his hearing aids to get new batteries. They’ll be adjusted when we go back after Ron gets his ears cleaned. I made an appointment for a “flush” tomorrow at the Williamstown Urgent Care center.

We had salad, bread and cheese for lunch.

Had a hard time over the past two days with the HP printer. It had run out of black ink but insisted on having the multi-colored one replaced as well. Tried clearing the cache, the spool, etc. The only thing that worked was a hard reset: unplug it, wait 60 seconds, plug it back in.

Did a small trim of the Japanese Spirea in the slope garden. Tore out more of the loathsome Canada goldenrod that was choking the Tickseed (Coreopsis).

My new glasses arrived today. I’ve been doing okay with them except for tripping over something of Ron’s.

Gorgeous evening out there.
