Good morning Cory, Jim, Gerry, Dave and the rest of the guys stopping by!

Yippee it's Hump Day!

Cory I sure hope Alissa feels better soon!

We pay to have our taxes done. With two business' it can be a bugger to figure out so much less stress to have them done and ours were all done back in Jan.

I figured Mr. Mayor would put his 2 cents in for me.

Were they discussing the timeframe for the assesment?

This week has been too long.

By the way, I am not a millionaire yet. I didn't win the Mega Millions last night. Don't shed a tear for me though. I will prevail on Saturday.

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.
Those lights sure look good on there.

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.
Hope Alissa feels better soon. Daycare/school filled with germ carriers........

That's why we have someone do them, too much to keep up with.
I'm pretty sure the cost can be written off, I'll have to check on that.

Good morning gang!

Happy Camel Day! Started our taxes last night and it looks like we'll be getting more back than I expected. I still need to gather up some information. We usually have them done too. I'll prob have it done again this year. I just wanted to get an idea of where we were at so I could brace myself. It's not that expensive and this year ought to be cheaper since there is no self employment to worry about.

They WILL find you eventually. The IRS has special powers like that.

Just got off the phone with Tousley, they have the bolts/nuts in stock.
They are not cheap though, $118.24 for 8 bolts/nuts.







But.................If you order from them, MAKE SURE you mention the web site Tousley Ford Parts Depot for internet pricing.

They come out to $64.98 with the special internet pricing. MUCH more palatable IMO. This is $23 CHEAPER than the USED ones I found on Ebay(shipping included)...............

Daycare germs are a good thing for when they get to school. Their immunity is built up. Our kids hardly ever get sick anymore.

Yes, tax preparation costs can be written off. We do every year.
