Visited the Apple Genius Bar, and they reset my P-RAM which fixed the charging, battery, and icon on the menu bar problems.
Then he tested the space bar and said it probably needed replacing. A few minutes later they brought it back from the wizards in the back room all working.
Now the printer isn't printing from wifi again ... but I think it's a matter of unplugging the printer and plugging it back in.
Let's test ... yup works fine. Case Closed.
Another case closer happened today ... the utilities dept took our broken recycling bins. They just put them in the back of the dumpster and they disappeared from view to be reincarnated.
