Good evening everyone. Welcome back ol timer and RT, glad you got the computer issue taken care of. While you were off line, I bought all the good stuff on Choochooauctions! Just kidding, my bride would have my head!
Well today went as expected. Had a few big cases, then I had to go due my annual update (Tb test, etc.). Had an add on case this afternoon, so I didn’t get home till later on.
Got most of the tax information in, so it is time for me to go through all of that. This is a ritual I would rather not have to do. Even with an accountant, there are plenty of forms, etc to go through. I would really like a flat tax, but I doubt it would ever happen. With the adoptions, there are some deductions, but the paperwork can be rather convoluted. I have checked with the IRS a few times and you get different answers.
Chief, glad the box is coming along. If you were to run all the engines at one time, you may very well over tax that power supply.
Banks, Rich beat me to answering your question. Unfortunately, LODDs are much too common. When I got on the fire department many moons ago, we had only a handfull of LODDs in the history of the department and while I was there, we had five in one day. Since that time, there have been more. The last one was our union president, a great guy. The ones who have gone, I used to work with and now if I go visit, most of the guys are younger.
well, plan is to make a cheesecake in the morning, then hit the train show with the family (wife actually encourages me to spend more when she is there), then do some tax work, and finally, we are having a get together for our Sunday School class at one of our member’s farms. If the weather holds, there will be horse back riding, shooting, fishing, etc. and plenty of good eats. The main meal is Shrimp-N-Grits!
Well time to get back to the family.
God bless,
Den
