Seems there's always clues we overlook early on and pay exponentially more for them later on
Just watched a segment on New England weather forecast. It will be colder than any time since 1950 up there. I have never been to Mt Washington, NH and I don't want to go. Not with air temperatures of -40 degrees and wind chill -100 degrees.
Here’s what else is forecast in places with wind chill warnings:
Here’s what else is forecast in places with wind chill warnings:
- Bangor, Maine: Temperatures will begin dropping after midnight Friday and reach their lowest of minus 21 degrees Fahrenheit during the early morning hours Saturday.
- Boston: The winds will feel as cold as 32 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, with below-zero temperatures lasting from Friday night through Saturday morning.
- Burlington, Vermont: Temperatures will dip to minus 15 degrees Fahrenheit, with the coldest winds feeling like 41 degrees below zero.
- Manchester, New Hampshire: Temperatures will remain below zero beginning Friday evening into Saturday morning, with the coldest being minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit. The coldest winds will feel like 40 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.
- Mt. Washington, New Hampshire: The highest peak in the Northeast may face gusts of over 130 mph early Saturday morning. This combined with temperatures of minus 40 degrees or lower will create wind chills as cold as minus 100 degrees.
I went to Mt Washington and meant to drive up to the top. It was in September and they had already closed the road to the top.
Well we have not had that thunderstorm there was a 90% chance of having. The clouds are thick and maybe it will come later.
I just got back from the gym and had a real good workout on my lower extremities. Feels good and I needed it. I have not been on the weight machines in a long time, not since before spinal surgery. I like my training path.
Today I received the remainder of my tax documents and will work on filing my taxes now. T Rowe Price and Prudential were the two I needed and they both came today. Both are 1099-R and they always come in early February. So I know what the rest of the day will consist of. I e-file and get a pretty quick return. Of course if I owe anything I file on April 15. I like to keep my money as long as I can.
In front of me is a very nice seafood tower and I am digging in. It looks just like the picture. Happy lunch to all.

Vermont man dies after fight at a middle school basketball game
Vermont man dies after fight at a middle school basketball game
No one died, but 20-25 years ago, here locally an off duty policeman who was reffing a jr high game got beat up in the lobby of a school after the game.
Also my uncle was coaching basketball and his team lost a chance to go to state on a last second mid court shot. He was the last person to leave the gym as he had to lock up. Two drunks were waiting for him at his car, planning on doing harm. He was a big guy and put them both in the hospital. Later his wife and kids started getting threats, so he quit the job and went to another school.
I have reffed a few little kids rec league games and there was a guy who tried to fight the other ref one night.
Also, I was at a pro wrestling event once in a small town and a fight broke out. The "heel" was trashing a lady telling her that her kids, who were with her, would be better off in foster care. Apparently the entire audience took offense to it and a brawl broke out between the fans and the wrestlers in the ring. then wrestlers from the back came to help the ones in the ring. Fans were throwing chairs into the ring and rushing the ring. One of the "security guards" got knocked out cold by a fan. Needless to say I got my 10 year old daughter out of there but they had to call the cops.
Yes, they really have!!
I was at a T-ball game a few years back....T-ball. T-ball with like 5-6 year olds.
One team was absolutely hammering the other team. Like 12-0. In one inning they are scoring a ton of runs and that teams first base coach says something to the same teams 3rd base coach. Guys on the SAME team. Well I guess the third base coach took offense to it and yelled across the diamond at the first base coach. Next thing I know they are around the pitchers mound about to throw hands and have to be separated by a couple other adults and umps. All this in front of 5-6 year olds DURING THE GAME.
I'd never seen anything like it. A real exceptional day for T-ball coaching and sportsmanship.
Nelson Co. is in central KY about an hour west of Lexington. I am from central KY but now in the mountains of SE KY. I do have a sister who teaches in Neslson Co but doesn't live there.
Mountains above (yes pretty far above) my house today.
Cost me 50k for about 90 days once... Just once but that was back before My Darling....
Sir,
When my son was at most 13 or 14 I coached or assistant coached our teams from T-Ball up through Babe Ruth. (This particular season I was the coach.)
Anyway during this particular season I had my son and one of his good friends on my team who was partially my son as I tried claiming a tax right-off on him several years because he stayed at my house so much.
They were speed demons, pitchers, and hitters extraordinaire for their ages. They both also had slight attitudes. (Not bad but they'd antagonize whoever they were playing against and I loved it.)
I cannot tell you how many double-steals and bait and switches I ran. I gave them both the green light whenever they were on base. I'd let one steal third and when one on first the one could steal second and a delayed steal home could occur.
Anyway this one mongrel of a parent took offense with my son who was on first. (I normally loved coaching third.) He came onto the field and had his finger in my sons chest before I realized what was going on. I timed the ump and at the same motion I ran across the field to my young teenager of a son and got one hand on that guy and he took off and leaped the fence, ran, and was never heard from again, ever that I remember.
How out of control must you be in life in general to cross a fence as a MAN and put your hands on a very young teenager. I would have taken no pity on that crap could I have caught a grip... (The Ump stated he'd have never lifted a finger either as he was stunned as many people were.
Control thy selves people. Do not be animals...
I don't have any fightin' stories to report but I just finished my Federal Income Taxes and I have to pay a little. I don't know what happened this past year but my earnings were basically the same. Last year I got a refund and this year I pay.
Was there some kind of tax bill passed since Trump was president? Since I am paying I will wait until the last day to send the money in.

Sir,
I am compiling at this point... I have the records... Just horrible to me this task. I tried an accountant and a tax person. Jokes (At least the ones I have found...) I dabble in several areas so I have several irons in the fire that I have to address and ensure all is fully reported... I normally pay and like you I wait until the last day to pay. Last year was the least I ever paid. (I set things so I pay on purpose as it irks me to no end getting money back knowing it was mine to begin with for nearly a year...)
Oh well...
Wow that is so cool Storm!!!! The story is about a guy from Nelson Co. is my son,(JP's) dad, he had to work on a bow for a guy, when he got there he had a friend with him that was from Nelson Co. They were talking about hunting and my son told the guy that my granddaughter had applied for the Elk hunt for the first time and was drawn for a permit. So the guy tells Jason that they could hunt on his property if they wanted to, gave him his phone number, told Jason to call him. They ended up going, the guy took them out every day and picked them back up in the evening. Jason told me later that the guy was super towards them, they had a great experience!!!!Nelson Co. is in central KY about an hour west of Lexington. I am from central KY but now in the mountains of SE KY. I do have a sister who teaches in Neslson Co but doesn't live there.

I got one that is just the opposite. I was an adult playing soft ball and I got a double. My elderly dad was umping 2b because the base ump didn't show up and he was asked to help. I was safe, but the second baseman got in my dads face. I suggested he change his attitude, but the home plate umpire intervened before anything happened.
I have always done my own taxes. My work had a lot of accounting in it and if you take the time to sit down and have kept good records it is not that difficult. If one can do simple calculations. Some people can't and they need to bring in a tax expert.
I have never depended on a big tax return check. I use to laugh at someone who would get a $5,000 check from the IRS when they tried to convince me the government was paying them. Funny how so many people see it that way.
I try to keep everything between $500. Either get $500 back or not pay more than $500. This year was an exception and I forgot about certain tax breaks ending with Biden.
Different & absolutely gorgeous. Thanks.Good Morning D League
Thursday has brought us a current temperature of 69° and the high will reach 71° at 9:00 AM. The temperature will start dropping after 11:00AM. We have a 90% chance of heavy thunderstorms and clouds will drop us to 56° by this evening. The temperature will drop overnight into the 40's. Winter is here.
They had a nice special update on TV last evening about Austin, TX and the ice storm. Some of the video sure back up what Austin said, they got hammered. Ice can mess things up in a hurry.
Headed to the gym this morning to work on my legs and calves. Then a good cardiac workout. Trust all are well. Bring me some sunshine.
Living in MA at the time for graduate school, on July 4th, 1971, a friend & I hiked up it to the halfway point. Beautiful view. Temperature fine. A few guys skied down Tuckerman's Ravine. I was amazed. My Achilles Tendons killed me walking back down.
They may have, but given he drove away, it wasn't the fight directly that killed him but likely his raised BP or a stroke. Possible it was unrelated.
I won't be able to finish taxes till CPA gets done preparing the K-1 for our little LLC, normally mid-March. Only have these rental units due to DW's brother wanting us involved. Couldn't say no. Not a problem, just seems more effort than it's worth.
Our income is highly variable year to year due to IRA withdrawals & Roth conversions, so I educate guess how much to pay which results in highly variable refunds - or even not.

The picture was of Cedar Key, FL. It is well often the beaten path. But a very charming quaint little town out in the Gulf.

Love to know who/where the landowner was. I know many people involved with elk here in E. KY. I'm not sure if I understand where they hunted. Nelson Co. doesn't have elk.
Let me check and see if it was Nelson Co., I could be wrong, Mrs M says I am wrong about 99% of the time!!!!

Sorry Storm, I was wrong, go figure, it's Williamson County
I am still awaiting a couple papers that were supposed to be here no later than January 31. I hate tax work.
I don't know of any new taxes. Gosh I hope not. Last year was the first year that I have not had problems with the IRS since 2011.
Tax changes for this year
I sure wish President Trump had got that 3x5 card tax document passed BUT, then there'd be close to no corruption.......
Good Saturday Morning
A little chilly down here, reporting in at 43° as we creep up to 72° for the high. Plenty of sunshine and clear skies. A 2% chance of rain.
I am headed down to the St Pete Yacht Club this morning for a nice luncheon. The Mayflower Society meets there several times a year and it is always a good day. We will have nice lecture on the early Pilgrims and their lives and lifestyle. Good stuff if you like history as I do.
I see the China Spy Balloon may be headed over Kentucky. It makes sense since Kentucky has two very important and large military bases. The Chinese can get a lot of valuable information from them. A smart move by China, just spy in front of the whole world and dare the U.S. to do something. It proves how weak we are.
Take care all and have a great day.

Good morning from ATX. We're currently at 34°F and partly cloudy. We may reach 62°F for our high. Finally some decent weather this afternoon.
Telephoned Germany earlier this morning. Good conversation. @cordmaker : My ex brother in-law has worked at Dynamit Nobel for over 35 years. I believe he works munitions. My ex-wife also worked several years at the same firm. Kinda wild, when you think about it.
Otherwise, all is good here. Got lots going on. I'm expecting a special VIP visitor today. Her flight departs in roughly 45 minutes.
Go Cats!
Wishing y'all an awesome day and great weekend. Take care.

You are probably thinking about Williamson, WV (city) which is right across from Pike Co and Martin Co., KY , Belfry, KY area. Plenty of elk in that section of the state.
At my house this is eating healthy. LOL
Most likely. Williamson, WV is in Mingo County.
There is a Williamsburg on the Tennessee line. I 75 runs right by it. That is Whitley County. I don't think there is a Williamson County in Kentucky. At least I am not aware of one.
Good morning D-League.
A brisk 10 degrees F with blowing wind today. Kept my walk short. Now I'm heading to my wife's gym in the hopes I can begin to transition from my scheduled PT sessions to rehabbing my hip myself. It's pretty much as strong as ever anyway.
Cats need a win today. I'm hopeful.
Catch up with you guys later.

Yes. Know those places well and thought about Williamsburg, but they don't have near as many elk in that area as Martin and Pike Counties.
20 degrees here this morning and looking forward to some southerly warmth in a couple of weeks.
It is a crisp 21.6°F and sunny. Frost everywhere.
Game day. We get Florida after they beat the crap out of Tennessee.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 14° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see a high of 46° and mostly sunny skies. Tomorrow will start a nice stretch of weather for us, with highs in the 50's and 60's every day until Friday.
Have a great Saturday.
Have a great Saturday.
Things sure have changed in Pike County. I am so glad to hear wildlife is coming back, especially deer and elk. I spent a lot of time in Pike County as a boy visiting my grandparents. Often all summer during school breaks.
They lived up Pond Creek near McVeigh up Rockhouse Holler. I never saw a deer much less an elk. You would have to hunt all day and half of the night to find a squirrel. Glad to hear it is full of elk.
