Disabling Duplex (two-sided) Printing — In creating Word documents I became frustrated with multi-paged files printing on both sides of the paper. Often I use "duplex printing" but there are times when a project requires single-sided printing. The process of disabling that printing feature was not obvious and it took a bit of time to search the internet for a solution. You are welcome to download (PDF format) the step-by-step process I went through: Disabling Duplex Printing

Descaling the Nespresso Vertuo — If you have a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine you will find that written step-by-step instructions for its descaling process are hard to find.

The History of Rock & Roll (THRR) - During the '70s I performed with this group. Based in Port Angeles (WA), our group played dance music at popular nightspots from Clallam Bay on the west end of the Olympic Peninsula to Seattle. THRR is recognized on the website created as a tribute to bands that performed in the Pacific Northwest during the 50's, 60's, 70's and later. To visit the full array of bands during this era visit Pacific Northwest Bands. Listed also at the site, in memorandum, is our great friend and music-mate Jim Neske (a.k.a., Chance Eden).
