    TurboTax

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    No big deal... just log in and do it online.  Heck, you could prob'ly do it on your phone, unless you're old like most of us!

     

    Actually, although it works, I truly detest the TurboTax format.  When asked by the TT "satisfaction poll," I flat stated that it would be MUCH simpler to just have "fill in the blanks" 1040 and 540 (california state) forms than having to endure their pedantic interrogatory format.  

     

    There actually once was a vastly superior product that did just that - fill it in with precise coaching, and excellent review for accuracy.  Strong competitor to TurboTax; so in true MicroSoft fashion, Intuit bought the company and killed it.  

     

    Next year I might try the direct service with the IRS and the state Franchise Tax Board and skip paying TT their absurd fee.

    Speaking of Tacos...

    I like tacos.  Heck... who doesn't?  :)

     

    And I've had LOTS of different types of tacos.  And, if I may humbly say so, the ones I make are always well received and often requested.

     

    But THESE I might not be so sure about.  :huh:

     

    Perhaps some of our Floridians might offer up opinions?  @Alpo?  :rolleyes:

    Definitely check out Mark Novak's "Anvil" videos.  Fun stuff, from a cigar-smoking, cello-playing, master gunsmith.  :)

     

    They tend to be lengthy (Mauser example link below), but are not boring at all and will keep your attention.  ^_^

    Cat scratch fever? Not the Ted Nugent song though.

    How will they track vehicle mileage?

     

    Well... here's the current proposed method:

     

         AB 1421

     

    Not surprisingly, a lot of folks are less than thrilled about this... but our opinions carry little weight.  <_<

    I don't think that Alpo can build and operate a functional jetpack either.

     

    Oh, hell, of COURSE he can~!  :lol:

     

    Oops... I thought you meant SDJ~!  🙄

    Cady Learns To Shoot a Henry

    I saw that too...  but it's not clear that the second shot was hers.  May have been the drunk J. P., who fortuitously missed.  

     

    However, played it back at 1/4 speed ("Settings" selection), and the second shot was clearly his:

    Longmire.  Season 5, Episode 7.  I thought one of the coolest scenes in the series.  :)

     

    Cady is in her new "legal office" with a young Cheyenne girl, protecting her from her enraged husband.  The guy breaks in, and Cady has to defend the girl and herself.  A couple of episodes earlier, Jacob Nighthorse had gifted her a rifle, and a box of ammunition.

     

    At about the 45 second mark she realizes it doesn't load like her dad's '94.  :rolleyes:

    Nineteen Seventy or Seventy one... San Francisco, the station near the Kappa Phi Delta house (Gulf?) was charging 25.9¢/gallon.  I'd coast into that station on fumes with a $5 bill in my pocket, fill up the old '68 Bug, and have enough change for lunch at Munchie Burgers on Geary.  ^_^

     

    Twelve cent hamburgers, 39¢ quarter pounders and "fill it yerself" drink machine!  Dang, but life was good!  :lol:
