We are trying something different possibly this year using the Arizona house. So we are paying someone to figure out what would work to our benefit the best then we will start doing it ourselves again. They should be done this week. Normally we would have been done already.

I've been putting them off. Half busy / half sticking my head in the sand about it. I hate taxes. Mostly because we always got screwed with Self Employment for Katie.

It's been about 5 years since I did ours. Too many deductions and such for me to keep track of. Just as easy to pay someone to do them and write off the amount of preparing them the next year.

It is a pain. I know Lynn usually does it all and she gets pretty frustrated.

My turn to head to bed. Have a great evening gang.

Looking at Bonneville or Grand Prix at the moment. I had a 99 GP GT. Other than the transmission going on me twice and the intake gaskets failing three times (mechanic stupidity), it was a great car. We were dumb to sell it. Oh well ...
We've had a few GM cars, put almost 300K on the Corsica, and I've had a couple different Grand Am's. One died in a crash and the other just died, I suspect it lived a hard life before I got it. Never had many problems with any of them either.

Sandy does our taxes and she is doing them this weekend.

Well got the locks keyed on the toolbox for 26 bucks. Now all my stuff is in there instead of the backseat or the bed.

Also the other day Mike and my brother Charles helped me put on all my smoked lights. Man does that change the look of my truck.

Late night post by Jake! Slept in WAY late on my day off, and I'm not really tired. Kinda bummed you guys are planning a GTG this weekend. I'm home next weekend for Easter and then again on the 21st, but both those weekends are booked pretty solid. I've got class this weekend. Woohoo. I'll make it to one of the GtG's sooner or later I guess. Ok, I gotta shut my eyes for a few hours here tonight.

Morning MN.

It's hump day today and all down hill from here. I hear that the wind has dies down FINALLY. Between that and Alissa up fussing all night = NO SLEEP. I think she is getting sick again. She just got over a cold, she goes to daycare for a few days and BAM, another cold. Well hopefully kids arn't sick this weekend or I might be stuck at home!

Well, almost time to make the donuts.

We pay someone to do ours also. Too many changes every year. Didn't know the cost could be written off the following year though
