    Tax nerds, please help?

    It appears that, though wife unit and I made less than last year, we actually owe a butt-load in taxes. It got me to thinking..... If dentists can have cool bikes, why can't accountants? Hence..... A-- I believe there was a adaptation to the tax code that allowed folks to keep more per...

    Donated plasma....

    Went to the local Biomat with wife, and we donated our plasma. Quite the experience. Granted, I had to pee like crazy after donating, so next time I better empty the bladder before starting!

    What a week after surgery....

    Well, wife's surgery. Had thumb denervation, where the nerve between her thumb and index finger, on her dominant hand, had to be cut to stop the pain she's been having for the past almost year. Surgery went well, as we arranged it with our 26th anniversary, until....... Couldn't do much, if...

    On a search of a different nature....

    As some of you know, wifey and I rescue dogs. Though we've had small dogs for most of our time together, at this point, I'd like to surprise her with a big dog, a Burnese Mountain dog to be exact. I've done a bunch of searching online for rescue groups, and have been coming up short. Should...

    First day of vacation.....

    And back!! Didn't try the Sandpiper, however, we did go to Splash twice in Pismo Beach. Their clam chowder is excellent, and the calamari/fries is one of my favorites. Had a GrubHub delivery, and though the food was good, the driver forget utensils, though we made due. Our view? Nothing...

    I finally donated the van.....

    To the church that held Alaina's service. I in no way could use it as a trade-in, or try to sell it, as I feel it would then put a price on Alaina's life. It actually felt really good to give the church, as well as the hopes that another family or work person will be able to use it for their...

    And The Giant redwoods survived

    Also look at the Tamarack fire here in the Tahoe/Markleeville area. What was a 1/4 acre lightning strike fire, in a very rocky area, that was "just being watched", until it exploded like it did. Son had 3 stints on that fire. Had there been even 2 or 3 retardant/water drops on it, well, you...
