OFF TO A COLD START---

Off to a cool start here. 61* climbing to mid 70's. Nice. Still putting together my docs for 2023 taxes. Hope to have it done today. Not working on the 91 vert till I take care of some higher priorities. I'm taking a more aggressive position on getting rid of the 3 cars. Stick a fork in me. I'm done with dealing with them anymore.

the word taxes makes me feel all sick inside..... I hate the word.... I hate the IRS... who the hell has the right to take 35% or more of your hard earned money...? I'm all about paying my fair share but our idiots in power in their wisdom have decided its ok to run a Trillion dollars in the hole every 100 days..... ya.... every 100 days.... there is like 3 and half of those every year..... It's a black hole and we all keep throwing our money in to it.....

Hell... the Boston Tea Party was because of a 3% tax and we stand idlily by while they take us for at least a third of our yearly income.... and then there is State taxes and fuel taxes and sales taxes.... the air that you breath taxes.... WTF.... I'm going to march on Washington....whose with me? Damnation on all of them in charge.... they be selling us all down the river... sunsabiches.....

That ends our daily rant.... please stay tuned for the next one.....

let's get grumpy Guru's

WAS 28 ON THE FRONT PORCH WHEN I GOT UP, 40 NOW. SUNNY AND BREEZY, 68 FOR THE HIGH TODAY.

TOMMY I'M THINKING ABOUT SELLING CARS ALSO. GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO GET OUT OF THE C4'S. COULD GIVE THEM TO GRANDKIDS, BUT THAR WOULD MAKE THEIR INSURGENCE GO UP. BABY DAUGHTER WILL WANT THE RED CAR, AND THEY CAN AFFORD IT.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY, JUST LITTLE TASKS AROUND THE HOUSE.

ENJOY, Y'ALL---

Marcus, you pay 35%? Damn .... You must make some nice coin.

Turn it up and read the lyrics. Back from a time when they actually wrote lyrics. LOL

And then there is this ......

WHAT?

we don't really make that much but I have an LLC that I can write off stuff used in the business.... expenses, the truck and such... but some of the tax rates are in the 25% range and some will be over that..... We took money out of savings to pay off the house this year and that is going to bite us big time..... I don't trust the stock market so did not want to see that evaporate when we could put it into fixed assets and live in it...... especially with the socialists wanting everyone to be broke and dependent on them.... asshats....

I don't care if we paid everyone several hundred thousand dollars a year.... my question is how you gonna pay for it... Taxes? How is that working out for them.... every 100 days another day older and deeper in debt.... I know make the rich pay for it.... oh wait the rich just moved their money offshore.... hmmmm..... wait we will call the middle class rich and get it from them.... and that is what they have done.....
