I got a cheap set of Top Flite. If I like golf and get halfway decent I’ll get some Callaway 9000 titanium AI enabled with the GPS guided putter with a built in wifi hotspot. Or something like that.

Just finished our taxes. Despite donating the most amount of money in awhile, 3 pick ups of clothing / stuff and a good amount of interest paid on our HELCO, we’re still paying Fed and State taxes!

Told my wife next year I’mma just gonna file the 1040 Short Form and take the Standard Deduction instead of spending hours organizing papers, forms, etc. and then sitting in front of the computer filling out TurboTax.

Taxes, bah, humbug! [ram27bat]

Got my first call-in at work tonight. Just finished up my burger was about to start on the 2nd and the pager went off. Threw some shoes on and took off. Traffic around here sucks ass, and is even worse on a weekend afternoon. I drove like an azzwhole and got there in 28 minutes from the call. 30 minute maximum for a call in.

Still gotta do my taxes. That's on the to do list tomorrow. Might be complicated this year with switching jobs and 401(k) rollovers that were sitting out there from previous jobs. I want to get it all under one roof rather than have 3 of them in 3 different places.

I do my own taxes with H&R Block software the past couple of years. Had a tax guy do them in prior years but my taxes are pretty simple so why pay $200 to the tax guy when the software can walk you through it?

Sat with my son to do his and show him the ropes. He's a student while working part time. Only 1 W2 to deal with - easy peasy. He's getting a nice return but I explained to him that the goal is to not get a return (you paid too much and gave the government a free loan) nor owe them taxes. The target is to not overpay nor under pay. $0 on your tax return for getting back and $0 to payback - that's goal. He needs to redo his W-4 withholdings.

I think I'll do a Mississippi pot roast in the slow cooker tomorrow. Tacos for lunch and pot roast for supper.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

^lol!

7 year old had her birthday party today. 15 six to seven year old girls, damn they are beasts. Mostly smiles, save for the one or two kids who would find something to complain about a bowl of ice cream... I am beat and all I did was show up and lug goodie- bags and pizza and gifts back and forth from the car.

I’mma not a tax expert but in my experience, it was easy to move / consolidate 401K accounts. You should talk to your account manager on the best way to move the funds over but as long as you don’t touch the money and it goes directly from one 401K account to another, there shouldn’t be any tax consequences for you.

Chill out today for the most part. Weather is predicted to be in the low to mid 40s. Crock pot is working to cook a beef roast, will do tacos for lunch. Do a couple loads of laundry and visit a friend for a couple hours to shoot the $hit. I want the snow to melt away so I can fire up the fire pit and get the container garden going but Mother Nature is out of my control.

Planted some herb seeds in pots a week or so ago but they haven't broken ground yet. I'll give them another week and it they don't show signs of life I'll try another round. 3D printed some suet cages yesterday to supply the birds some free fat for them to eat while they prepare for the coming season. I'll just zip tie the feeders to the deck railing.

Aldi store in town just opened a couple days ago. Maybe I'll stop in and check it out.

I don't predict a lot of things but I predict a little nap will set in later today. The odds of that happening is better than the odds of winning Power Ball or any lottery ticket. The lottery: a tax on people that don't understand statistics. With that said, I'm guilty of buying a quick pick once and a while.
