Pinnacle Peak Patio Thursdays with Big Marv

Sept 4
Pinnacle Peak Patio Thursdays with Big Marv. Once again (Week 6) we spent the evening with Big Marv and scanned in history and photos from the last 50 years. The databases are getting huge and we find we have to stop after about 6 hours as the computers get over heated from scanning and printing. Bob (Arizona Duuude) designed some really great little wooden blocks to set under the computers to raise them off the vinyl tablecloth so they stay a little cooler longer. We have gone through about 3 ink cartridges so far printing documents. The little Neat Receipts scanner does a great job on anything flat and smaller than 8.5”x11” that can run through it’s feed mechanism. But I also brought an HP All in One Scanner, Copier and Printer for things we need to lay onto a flat bed for scanning. Many large items need to be scanned in sections I will piece together later. Of special interest tonight was Marv’s brand book. He has so many brands and ranch documentation 3 inches thick. He also has a general cowboy collections book of interesting art and books he has seen.
