D-League

A week ago the lake was way down but now it is back up to the grass line. Time to get the kayaks out and cruise around

I had a good day yesterday as well. My wife took me out to Walmart so I returned the favor by taking her to Lowes. I watched golf for about 8 hours and drank a few beers. She cooked up a bunch of bacon, sausage, and country ham yesterday morning and we grazed on that all day with biscuits and bread.
I wish I could eat bacon, sausage and such but NOOOooooooo...I get genes that don't work well with those. :angry:
 
Good Tuesday Morning D League

Same weather pattern as the past few weeks. We have a current temperature of 74° and we should have a high of 83°. We are expecting some summer storms that happen most days but they only last a short time and leave us with some nice colors in the skies.

I smell sausage in the pan a frying. My coffee is black and strong. Life is good. Make it a good day

I hope all is well with the D-League. Just finished a long pre-work hike around downtown DC. The beast that is Washington Summer Humidity is starting to rouse from a welcome vacation.

Anybody else having a pain in the ass from the IRS this year? I owed them a few hundred bucks beyond my initial payment after the April filing, so I sent them a check in early May -- which they cashed in mid-May. Yesterday I get a stern letter dated June 10 - twenty days after they cashed my check -- claiming I still owed them and threatening increasing penalties. Bad enough to get bent over to the degree I do because my wife and I both work hard (not as hard as some of the D-League, but still...) But to then have the incompetents mis-file my payment. And of course, when you call you are told wait times are SIXTY MINUTES. I just kicked it to the guy who does my taxes and I'll let him sweat it out.

Hoping for good news with the transfer Blackshear today or tomorrow. He'd be as close to a direct replacement for PJ as we could hope for.
 
Morning D, Getting ready to head out and put up some shelves for my sister.
Man is she ever twisted, but I love her anyway!

Ok ya'll have a great and safe day! Check back later!!

Oh, can I tell you about the IRS. Sherry and I have been harassed since 2011 because we were the first two lines on Rand Paul's petition to the Kentucky Secretary of State to run for the Senate. Then we were in all his commercials. They audited Rand his first two years as a Senator, but they found out to leave him the hell alone because he could make their lives a little harder. Bert & Sherry were not that lucky.

Every year we are harassed. We hired a CPA and year by year the CPA negotiates with the IRS. We are now through 2018 and so far, so good. However, last week I got a similar letter for my 2016 tax year. I filed in 2016 and basically broke even. The IRS sent me a $2,000 refund. Now two years later they want $1,600 of it back. Plus, they slip in a penalty because they send me too much back.

I send in $1,657 every quarter plus they withhold money from my Railroad Retirement checks and my Pension. All I want is to know how much I own them and for them to leave me alone. But we and my CPA can’t ever please them. Maybe with the CPA I will not get any more late letters. Somehow I doubt it.
