And a happy glorified rodent to you as well. -
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Happy Groundhog Day
Uh, I know I'm a bit out of the loop here, but when exactly is "ground hog day?" It would be interesting to me for people to inform me of the significance of this day, history, etc. and why does it matter to us? Maybe I need to crawl out of my hole.
I think I was told that if the creature goes back into his hole there is going to be a "longer winter." However, I always wondered where this tradition came from and who was/were the people that decided this should be a holiday? I always pictured some drunk/stoned farmer with nothing better to do during the winter than watching a ground hog hole and making the story as he goes. Moreover, I always wondered how this farmers story became such a big deal?
But the mention of ground hog I can't help but to think of Bill Murry and Caddy shack movie. We use to love this song as children back in the day.

Re: Happy Groundhog Day
Traditionally it is the approximate day that ground hogs, wood chucks, first start coming out of hibernation. It is said to have started with the Pennsylvania Dutch in the tradition of the German badger day celebration, the badger would come out of hibernation about 2 weeks later. Whether the ground hog saw its shadow or not determined whether there would be 6 more weeks of winter or that spring was just around the corner. Just around the corner amounted to 6 weeks also.Comment
