I had planned on doing several outdoor things this weekend but it is just too darn hot.
Max and I finished his advanced obedience course and he did real good and learned a few more things. His dog aggression is easing but I have to watch him carefully and correct him when it happens. When I have time I will teach Buddy some of the new things that Max learned.
I wrote another short story called "The Potato Days". It is listed in the right hand panel under My Stories and Links. Check it out!
The Lights Out inquiries are starting to pick up now and I have showed the boat twice in the last week. They are interested so hope someone buys it soon.
I received an IRS notice yesterday concerning my 2007 taxes. It appears that one of the mortgage companies did not report (Form 1098) the interest I paid so the IRS indicated I owed and additional $2,321 in taxes and interest. Now I have to go through a lot of trouble proving the mortgage company screwed up, or maybe the IRS did. Maybe I can get the same deal as Tim Geithner, the Treasury Secretary got!
Speaking of our government, I am so glad I am able to help so many people buy new cars with my tax money ($4500 Cash for Clunkers Program). I wish they would at least buy American Made cars! Too bad I can't take advantage of that program. Oh well, you know how "Spreading the Wealth" works.
I am just sharing some of my thoughts about our government here. Hmmm, maybe that is why I am being audited? Maybe my political emails have caught up with me! LOL
I finally finished Season 4 (the last One) of Battlestar Galactica. Thank you Phillip, for introducing me to the Series. I got hooked on it and enjoyed the entire series.
That's about it for now.
Butterflies & Camping

I recently went to Tally for a Dentist appt and I saw this butterfly in
front of Mom's house so I snapped a few shots and her neighbor thought I
was real...

It has been so hot lately Dad! I'm glad people are looking at the boat I hope it works out soon. Nice story Dad! It seems crazy that back then a 13 year old could have a job, these days I think at some places you can be 15 but they prefer 16. Reading about potatoes made me hungry!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hassle on the IRS stuff. I liked your story too. I appreciate that you set a good example for all of us working hard since you were 13! You could say that Andrew and I both started out at Publix, and Pamella and Brynne both started at Papa John's. Where did Doug and Debbie start?
ReplyDeleteI am so glad people are looking at the boat again! Hope you have a buyer soon!! I loved reading your potato story:) That really stinks about the IRS...we had trouble with our 2004 taxes and they kept stringing us along, we finally got word that we owed them $25. Weird.
