[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 397211"] haozi (hope I got that right) I was contemplating it, everything else works and it was in a box for 6 months because of disrespectful lack of taking care of the gaming unit by Big B. My first thought was needs to be cleaned out. I'll be picking up a cleaning kit and a can of compressed air to try that first. Last resort will be pulling it apart and cleaning the lens with a q-tip. The cleaning service I was so utterly not expecting. Landlady is only 37 yrs old and already owns 6 properties not including her own house. She's smart as a whip that one and works for one of the local lawyer's offices. She's very well off BUT does not let it get to her head. She's down to earth and swears worse than I do (I'm Quebecer, I swear like a sailor lol). I love this lady, she's a darling all the way with a capital D! Had Big B run over the lasagna we made for the old man across the street, he's a veteran and doesn't have much in the way of family to celebrate the holidays with and he was a sweetie bringing the animals Christmas treats. Apparently does this for all the animals on the block for Christmas. Tells me he doesn't have visitors much for the holidays. He was pleased and told Big B thank you so many times it took B an extra 10 minutes to get back to our place (right across from us) lol. I guess he wasn't expecting the return sentiment of a gift at all. I saw the beaming smile all the way across the street in my dining room window.
